EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Teaching Robert the Macaw to talk" we are transported back to Brixton Market in London on a sunny day in June 1954. Perched outside a pet shop, Robert, a magnificent blue and yellow Macaw, captivates passersby with his impressive ability to speak. As shoppers stroll by, they cannot resist stopping for a moment to engage in conversation with this charismatic bird. Robert's repertoire consists mainly of two phrases: his own name and a friendly "Hello". Yet despite the simplicity of his vocabulary, he manages to create an enchanting atmosphere that draws people towards him. The vibrant colors of his feathers mirror the lively energy of Brixton Market itself. This photograph captures not only the unique bond between humans and animals but also showcases the bustling life within inner boroughs like Brixton during the 1950s. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when small moments of joy could be found amidst everyday routines. Taken by Bela Zola as part of her series "Life in the Mirror" this image immortalizes both Robert's charm and the timeless appeal of local markets. Whether you were there on that summer day or simply appreciating it now through this print, it is impossible not to feel touched by Robert's presence and reminded of our shared connection with nature.
