EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful vintage print from December 1966, we are transported to Chessington Zoo where Humphrey the hippo is enjoying a leisurely day in his pool. With the scorching sun overhead, Humphrey has found a clever way to beat the heat - by donning a slightly undersized straw hat! As he lazes in the refreshing water, it's hard not to smile at his endearing attempt to welcome a bright new year. The image captures the essence of carefree summer days at the zoo during the swinging sixties. The vibrant colors and playful atmosphere transport us back to an era when simple joys brought immense happiness. Humphrey's relaxed expression and cool demeanor remind us that even animals seek respite from hot weather. This photograph beautifully showcases both nature's beauty and man-made amusement as it combines elements of wildlife and whimsy. It serves as a reminder of how zoos have long been spaces for education, conservation, and entertainment. As we gaze upon this charming scene frozen in time, let us appreciate Mirrorpix's ability to capture such candid moments with their lens. This Memory Lane Print invites us on an enchanting journey through history while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times spent observing majestic creatures like Humphrey cooling off under their makeshift hats.
