EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless print from May 16th, 1960, we witness the enchanting scene at Chester Zoo where children frolic and bond with their primate counterparts. The grandson of esteemed Director George Mottershead, Robert McCann, takes center stage as he engages in playful antics with Mary - a baby chimpanzee who exudes innocence and curiosity. Alongside them are a mischievous baby orangutan and an adorable wooly monkey, forming an unlikely trio of companions. In this snapshot frozen in time, the joyous energy radiating from both the children and monkeys is palpable. Their laughter fills the air as they chase each other around with unbridled enthusiasm. With a spade in hand, young Robert embraces his role as caretaker to these furry friends while simultaneously immersing himself in their world of wonder. This photograph not only captures a delightful moment but also serves as a testament to the profound connection between humans and animals. It reminds us that zoos like Chester provide invaluable opportunities for education and conservation by fostering empathy towards our fellow creatures. As we delve into this nostalgic glimpse of the past within Memory Lane Prints' collection, let us cherish these innocent moments shared between children and animals – forever etched upon our hearts.
