EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful print captured by Arthur Sidey in August 1982, we are introduced to Clyde the polar bear, a playful and mischievous resident of Chessington Zoo. With an endearing touch of humor, Clyde can be seen wearing a cone on his head as he frolics around in his brand-new enclosure. The image perfectly encapsulates the carefree spirit and curiosity that define these magnificent creatures. Despite being adorned with an unconventional accessory, Clyde's exuberance remains unbridled as he explores every nook and cranny of his spacious habitat. His large paws leave imprints on the soft ground, evidence of his joyful escapades. This snapshot from the past transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the 1980s when zoos were becoming increasingly focused on providing enriching environments for their animal inhabitants. It serves as a reminder that even within captivity, animals like Clyde can find moments of amusement and contentment. Arthur Sidey's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the comical sight before us and also raises awareness about wildlife conservation efforts undertaken by institutions such as Chessington Zoo. Through photographs like this one, we gain insight into our shared responsibility to protect these remarkable species for future generations. Whether you're an animal lover or simply seeking a nostalgic glimpse into days gone by, this print is sure to bring joy and laughter into any space it adorns.
