EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the eerie world of an old castle. The iron-studded door creaks open slowly, revealing a chilling sight that would send shivers down anyone's spine. Count Dracula stands before us, his fangs glistening in the soft glow of candlelight. It is a scene straight out of a horror story. But amidst all the terror and darkness, there is an unexpected twist. Meet Dick, a twelve-month-old orangutan residing at Dudley Zoo in Worcestershire. This mischievous primate spends his days inside his cage, playfully tearing up old paper and books. However, one particular book has caught his attention like no other – a collection of horror stories that he simply cannot put down. The juxtaposition between the menacing Count Dracula and our adorable orangutan friend creates both humor and intrigue in this photograph from November 1974. As Dick engrosses himself in tales of frightful creatures and haunted castles, it becomes clear that even animals can have their own unique interests and expressions. This heartwarming image reminds us that friendship knows no bounds – not even between an orangutan and a spooky character like Count Dracula. With its blend of cuteness, fearfulness, humor, and curiosity for reading material beyond its species' norm; this snapshot captures an unforgettable moment frozen in time on Memory Lane Prints by Mirrorpix (not associated with any commercial use).
