EDITORS COMMENTS
Life can be such a bore when you're on the inside looking out. That seems to be Ally the polar bear's problem as he surveys the scene from his terracing at Belle Vue Zoo. In this print captured by Tony Cordt in April 1971, we catch a glimpse of Ally's aloof and superior demeanor, characteristic of these majestic creatures. The 1970s was an era that exuded coolness and relaxation, and Ally embodies this spirit effortlessly. With his sleek white fur glistening under the sunlight, he appears completely at ease in his surroundings. As one of nature's most impressive predators, it is no wonder that Ally carries himself with such confidence. This photograph transports us back to a time when zoos were popular destinations for families seeking entertainment and education. The Belle Vue Zoo provided visitors with an opportunity to witness exotic animals up close, fostering a sense of wonder and appreciation for wildlife. Tony Cordt skillfully captures the essence of Ally's solitude within his enclosure; reminding us that even though life may seem mundane from behind bars, there is still beauty to be found in observing the world outside. This striking image serves as a reminder to cherish our freedom while also acknowledging the importance of preserving habitats for these incredible creatures.
