EDITORS COMMENTS
For the first time, Paddiwack, the adorable polar bear cub born to Sam and Sally on November 29th, 1972, stepped out of his cozy den alongside his doting mother onto the Mappin Terraces at London Zoo. The press eagerly awaited this precious moment as Paddiwack timidly explored his new surroundings. Weighing a mere 20-25 pounds, little Paddiwack captured hearts with his fluffy white fur and innocent eyes. Named by head keeper Sam Morton himself, this charming cub marked the third successful rearing of a polar bear at London Zoo since Brumas became famous in 1949. The bond between mother and son was evident as Sally lovingly watched over her curious offspring. With each step he took between her legs for protection and security, it was clear that their connection would be unbreakable. This heartwarming photograph from February 14th, 1973 captures an era when affectionate moments like these were cherished without commercial motives. It transports us back to a simpler time when animals roamed freely within zoo enclosures and visitors marveled at their beauty. Preserved by George Greenwell's lens through Memory Lane Prints, this image serves as a nostalgic reminder of our shared fascination with wildlife during the vibrant decade of the 1970s.
