EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the majestic and enigmatic Pelican Chorus, a scene reminiscent of William Shakespeare's King Lear. The image, believed to date back to the late 19th century, transports us to a time when such wondrous sights were a source of fascination and inspiration for poets, artists, and scholars alike. The Pelican Chorus, with their regal bearing and distinctive features, are depicted in all their grandeur. Their large, pouched beaks, resembling the fins of a pelican, are a testament to their unique anatomy. The queen pelican, with her leathery throat and chin, is an embodiment of elegance and grace. These birds, with their lovely voices, were often compared to royalty in the folklore and stories of the time. The Pelican Chorus has long been a subject of fascination and intrigue, with their mythical significance extending beyond the realm of natural history. In many cultures, the pelican was seen as a symbol of self-sacrifice and renewal, as it was believed to pierce its own breast to feed its young with its blood. This image, with its timeless beauty and evocative title, invites us to explore the rich history and stories surrounding these magnificent birds. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a world where the Pelican Chorus reigns supreme, a world where the wonders of nature continue to inspire and captivate our imaginations. This print, with its historical significance and timeless allure, is a must-have for any collector of vintage prints, natural history enthusiasts, or those with a penchant for the poetic and the nonsensical.
