EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1970s, specifically January 1971, at Bellue Vue Zoo in Belfast. The image captures a truly extraordinary sight - an elephant standing gracefully atop a wall. It is a moment frozen in time that encapsulates the beauty and power of these majestic creatures. The composition of the photograph is striking; the contrast between the massive pachyderm and the delicate stone wall creates an intriguing juxtaposition. The sheer size of the elephant against its surroundings highlights its dominance and strength, while also showcasing its surprising agility. In this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of how zoos have long been places where humans can marvel at nature's wonders up close. This particular scene evokes a sense of awe and wonderment as we witness such an incredible display by one of Earth's largest land animals. Beyond its visual appeal, this image holds historical significance as it was taken during a tumultuous period in Belfast's history. Amidst political unrest and tension, this photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, moments of tranquility and natural beauty can still be found. Whether you are captivated by wildlife or fascinated by history, this print offers both elements in abundance. It invites viewers to reflect on our relationship with animals and their place within our world while providing a glimpse into life during an era marked by change and uncertainty.
