EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful print titled "Waiting for the bang!", we are transported back to a playful moment at the London Zoo in 1937. The bears, usually known for their lumbering nature, seem to have regressed to their cub days as they eagerly chase after gaily colored balloons released into their enclosure. Their hunting instincts kick in as they stalk these elusive spheres with sheer determination. The Christmas spirit seems to have touched these majestic creatures, as they find joy and excitement in this unexpected game. With every gust of wind that carries the balloons out of reach, their animal passion flashes out, making them even more determined to catch them. And it appears that popping the balloons with a loud bang has become quite a favorite sport among them. In one particular moment captured by the photographer, we see one bear sinking its teeth into a balloon while another sniffs suspiciously nearby. Little does he know that he is about to get quite a shock when the balloon explodes! This humorous scene reminds us of the innocence and charm found in simple pleasures. This monochrome photograph from between the wars exudes an undeniable sense of nostalgia and captures both our hearts and imagination. It serves as a reminder that even wild animals can experience moments of playfulness and bring smiles to our faces.
