EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Visitors at London Zoo look at the penguins" a bustling crowd gathers around an enclosure filled with adorable flightless birds. The year is 1959, and it seems that everyone is captivated by the sight of these little creatures, their faces adorned with smiles and expressions of awe. However, amidst the cheerful atmosphere, one young boy stands out from the crowd. Positioned right at the front, this boy appears greatly unimpressed and rather bored by the spectacle before him. While others find joy in observing these charming penguins, his disinterested gaze suggests a different sentiment altogether. Perhaps he has seen them countless times or maybe his mind wanders elsewhere on this particular day. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of human fascination with animals held captive for our amusement. It serves as a reminder of how zoos have long been places where people gather to marvel at nature's wonders while simultaneously raising questions about animal welfare. Taken by Tanner during the vibrant era of the 1950s, this image transports us back to an age when visiting zoos was still considered an exciting family outing. It encapsulates both the delight shared by most visitors and also hints at individual experiences that may differ from what meets the eye – like that of our seemingly unimpressed young observer standing front row among them all.
