EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene presence of a red deer stag in Richmond Park, London, as it stands calmly on the roadside verge amidst the hustle and bustle of passing traffic. Taken between January 1962 and May 1964 by the renowned photographer John Gay, this image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the harmony that once existed between nature and urban life in the heart of the city. The stag, with its majestic antlers and regal demeanor, appears almost oblivious to the cars and a coach that are making their way along the narrow road. The vehicles, with their worn tires and rusted bodies, speak of a time when automobiles were a newer addition to the landscape, and the roads were not yet congested with modern traffic. Richmond Park, one of London's oldest and largest royal parks, has been a sanctuary for red deer since the 17th century. The park's expansive grounds, covering over 2,500 acres, provide a natural habitat for these magnificent creatures, allowing them to roam freely and thrive. This photograph not only highlights the beauty and tranquility of Richmond Park but also serves as a poignant reminder of the coexistence of nature and urban development in London's history. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the delicate balance between the natural world and the ever-evolving cityscape.
