EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ballet of the Apes" we are transported back to June 1977 at Bristol Zoo, where an extraordinary encounter between Diana the gorilla and her keeper, Mike Colbourne, unfolds. As the image captures a moment of sheer hilarity and unexpected amusement, it is impossible not to be drawn into this whimsical scene. Diana, a majestic yet seemingly unimpressed gorilla, stands tall while observing her dedicated keeper's attempts at dancing. With his graceful ballet moves and utmost dedication to entertain his beloved charge, Mike Colbourne seems determined to elicit even the slightest reaction from his stoic companion. The contrast between man and beast in this photograph is both humorous and endearing. It showcases our innate desire for connection with animals through entertainment. Despite their vast differences in physicality and temperament, there exists an undeniable bond between these two beings that transcends species boundaries. This snapshot from the 1970s exudes a sense of nostalgia as it encapsulates a time when such unconventional interactions were celebrated as sources of joy and wonderment. The image serves as a reminder that laughter knows no bounds – even within the animal kingdom. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints collection, we are reminded of how humor can bridge gaps between humans and animals alike. It invites us to appreciate life's lighter moments while cherishing those unique connections that bring us together across all walks of life.
