EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1950s at London Zoo, where a senior Rock Hopper penguin named Siren reigns supreme in the pool. With his distinguished age and boisterous nature, Siren has always stood out amongst his fellow pen mates. The image captures Siren's vibrant presence as he glides effortlessly through the water, showcasing his remarkable agility despite being an older member of the penguin community. His distinctive black and white feathers glisten under the sunlight, creating a striking contrast against the blue hues of the pool. Siren earned his name due to his unrivaled ability to make more noise than any other penguins around him. Whether it be playful squawks or spirited honks, he has always been known for adding an extra dose of liveliness to London Zoo's atmosphere. This photograph not only immortalizes Siren but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with these charming creatures in captivity during that era. It transports us back to a time when inner boroughs like London were home to thriving zoos filled with diverse animal species from all corners of the world. Tommy Lea's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the beauty and individuality of animals like Siren while shedding light on their lives within zoo enclosures during this period.
