EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from March 1940, we are transported back to the 1940s at the New Cock Inn in Hildenborough, Kent. The focal point of this image is a rather unusual but endearing guest - a thirsty squirrel! This furry little creature has become a regular visitor to the pub, much to the amusement of patrons and staff alike. Captured in mid-action, we see the squirrel perched on one of the bar stools with its tiny paws wrapped around a shot glass filled with what appears to be an alcoholic beverage. Its mischievous eyes seem to sparkle with delight as it indulges in its favorite drink. The woman behind the bar can't help but chuckle at this comical sight, clearly amused by her unexpected customer. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both humor and whimsy as it showcases an unlikely friendship between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times like those faced during World War II, moments of lightheartedness could still be found amidst daily life. With its timeless appeal and nostalgic atmosphere, this snapshot captures not only a unique moment but also reflects our enduring fascination with nature's ability to surprise us. Whether you're an animal lover or simply appreciate quirky anecdotes from history, this delightful print is sure to bring joy and laughter into any space it graces.
