EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Hippopotamus June 1968" we are transported back to a nostalgic moment at Plymouth Zoo. The image captures the endearing bond between Mr Brian Stoke, the dedicated zoo manager, and his beloved hippopotamus named Louie. It was during that fateful summer in '68 when Mr Stoke discovered Louie's peculiar fondness for water sprinkling. As we gaze upon the picture, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent creature basking in its natural habitat - surrounded by ample amounts of luscious mud, perfect for wallowing. With an open mouth revealing its massive teeth, Louie seems both playful and content as he eagerly awaits a refreshing sprinkle from his caring keeper. The photograph evokes a sense of joy and camaraderie shared between man and beast. It reminds us of the unique relationships formed within zoos, where keepers devote their lives to nurturing and understanding these incredible creatures. Taken by R. Lewis during the swinging sixties era, this snapshot encapsulates not only a specific moment frozen in time but also represents an era when zoos played an essential role in educating people about wildlife conservation. This remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints invites us to reflect on our connection with nature while marveling at the beauty of these majestic animals.
