EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical print captures a truly unique moment in time from the early 1930s. In the image, we see an old man wearing a classic straw boater hat, offering a drink of whisky to a magpie perched on his hand. The scene is both humorous and intriguing, as it raises questions about the relationship between humans and animals, as well as the cultural norms surrounding alcohol consumption during that era.
The contrast between the elegant attire of the man and the unconventional nature of his actions adds an element of surprise to this historical snapshot. It's clear that this is not your typical interaction between man and bird, making it all the more captivating to behold.
As we ponder over this image, we can't help but wonder about the backstory behind this unlikely pairing. Was there a special bond between this man and his feathered friend? Or was he simply sharing a playful moment with a curious creature? Whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain - this photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era filled with unexpected surprises and delightful oddities.
Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library for preserving such an intriguing piece of history for us to enjoy today.
