EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on 1 August 1938 at the London Zoo, a penguin steals the spotlight with its unconventional response to the scorching Bank Holiday heat. As visitors flock to witness the wonders of the zoo, this adorable creature decides to rebel against the oppressive temperatures by staging a "lie down strike". Ignoring the milling crowds and their curious gazes, our feathered friend chooses instead to indulge in a well-deserved siesta. Captured between two world wars, this monochrome image encapsulates both humor and resilience. The comical sight of a penguin nonchalantly lounging amidst an array of animal crackers brings joy even in challenging times. With Europe still recovering from past conflicts, moments like these remind us that laughter can be found even in unexpected places. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for generations to come, this photograph showcases not only an amusing anecdote but also serves as a reminder of our shared connection with animals. It invites us to appreciate their ability to find solace and respite amidst chaos—a lesson we could all learn from during trying times
