I m Clarissa. You might think me as cold as a fish, but I m not carping. Why should I when someone as pretty as Janet Bromley comes to see me every day? Here she comes again I just love her to tickle me under the chin. It makes me feel as if I m swimming on air. But thats not all. She never forgets to bring me a tit bit. Mirror cameraman George Greenwell, takes a look at the famous 44lb carp at the London Zoo, aquarium. 25th August 1963

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by George Greenwell in 1963, we are introduced to the enchanting Clarissa, a famous 44lb carp residing at the London Zoo aquarium. Despite her cold and stoic appearance, Clarissa proves that looks can be deceiving. She is far from being as cold as a fish and certainly not carping about her life. The true reason behind Clarissa's warm disposition becomes evident when Janet Bromley enters the frame. Janet's presence brings an undeniable joy to Clarissa's underwater world. With each visit, Janet lovingly tickles Clarissa under the chin, creating a sensation that makes her feel like she is swimming on air. But it doesn't stop there - Janet never fails to bring along a delightful treat for Clarissa during their encounters. This special bond between them showcases the beauty of their unique friendship; one woman dedicated solely to bringing happiness into this magnificent creature's life. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are reminded of the timeless tale of "beauty and the beast". In this case, it is not just physical beauty but also kindness and compassion that have transformed these moments into something truly magical. George Greenwell skillfully captures this heartwarming scene beneath the water's surface at London Zoo aquarium in August 1963. Through his lens, he immortalizes an unforgettable connection between two beings from different worlds – reminding us all of our capacity for love and empathy towards even those who may seem vastly different from ourselves.
