EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "He's called the Adjutant stork and he's storking his prey - edible litter" we are transported back to August 1954 at Chessington Zoo. The image showcases an Indian scavenger bird known as the Adjutant stork, who appears to be feeling rather dejected and sad. The humorous twist lies in the fact that visitors to the zoo are so conscious about litter that they refuse to feed any snacks to this majestic creature. The photograph perfectly captures a moment of irony, as the stork is seen stalking its prey – edible litter. However, it seems that even though there is plenty of food available for him, he remains hungry due to the conscientiousness of visitors who refrain from feeding him anything other than what nature provides. The black and white composition adds a nostalgic touch, taking us back in time when zoos were places of wonderment and amusement. This unique image not only highlights human behavior but also sheds light on our impact on wildlife. Rev E5874/1 is etched onto this timeless piece, reminding us of its historical significance within our collective memory. As we gaze upon this photograph from Mirrorpix's collection, let us reflect on how our actions can unintentionally affect those around us – even if they happen to be magnificent creatures like the Adjutant stork.
