EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious snapshot from January 1974, the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo find themselves in a state of disbelief as they come face to face with an unexpected visitor - a queen-sized penguin! However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that their new family member is not what it seems. Young actress Mary McCusker has donned the larger-than-life costume to gain some real-life experience for her upcoming show, Flibberty and the Penguin. The comical scene captures the essence of both animals and humans alike - their ability to be surprised by the unusual and embrace moments of humor. The penguins' wide-eyed expressions perfectly mirror our own astonishment when faced with something out of the ordinary. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of individuality and showcases how even animals can appreciate a good laugh. It serves as a reminder that sometimes we all need a break from reality, allowing ourselves to indulge in lightheartedness and whimsy. As we journey back to this momentous era through Memory Lane Prints, let us cherish these delightful snapshots that bring joy into our lives. May this image serve as a testament to the power of laughter and remind us never to take ourselves too seriously - after all, who wouldn't be amazed by a queen-sized penguin?
