EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "Hi - Mind the nose! The children love it" we are transported back to the year 1955 at London Zoo's bird house. The star of the show is none other than Baby, the Great Indian Hornbill, who has captured the hearts of both children and adults alike. As we observe Alfred Woods, head keeper at the bird house, there seems to be a hint of uncertainty on his face as Baby's strong beak snaps near his nose. However, he remains calm and confident in this playful interaction. With a grape placed between his lips, Alfred entices Baby to snatch it away with lightning speed – a trick that has brought joy to countless visitors over the years. Despite no longer being an actual baby, Baby continues to carry that endearing name which has become synonymous with him. His vibrant plumage and impressive beak make for quite a spectacle against Alfred's uniformed attire and glasses. This snapshot from the 1950s captures not only a humorous moment but also highlights our connection with nature within bustling inner London boroughs. George Greenwell skillfully immortalizes this heartwarming scene through his lens, reminding us of the simple joys found in our interactions with animals at zoos like London Zoo.
