EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the early 1920s, Ethel Parkinson captures a unique moment of connection between humans and nature in the frozen lands of the Arctic. The scene unfolds on a glacier, where a friendly penguin, much larger than his human companions, acts as an unofficial tour guide. Dressed in furs and hats, the Esquimos or Inuit people gaze at the penguin with wonder and curiosity, as if on an extraordinary Christmas adventure. The penguin, with its keen eyes and upright posture, seems to have been employed by a tour operator, such as Thomas Cook, to show them around his icy kingdom. The image exudes a sense of wonder and delight, as the boundary between man and animal blurs in this magical encounter. The chilly, wintery landscape, with its breathtaking glaciers and icy formations, adds to the sense of otherworldliness and adventure. This photograph, titled 'Follow the Man from Cooks by Ethel Parkinson' (Mary Evans Prints Online, Parkinson 941b), is a testament to the enduring allure of the Arctic and its wildlife, and the human desire to explore and understand the natural world.
