EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Penguin Pool" by Eric de Mare, transports us back in time to the iconic Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park, London. The image, taken around 1965, showcases the unique and intriguing world of penguins as they inhabit their modernist abode. Designed by the visionary Tecton architectural firm in 1934, this pool was a groundbreaking architectural achievement, reflecting the sleek and innovative style of the Modernist movement. The pool's clean lines and geometric shapes create a striking contrast against the natural setting of the gardens, while the cool, blue water mirrors the serene reflection of the surrounding trees. The penguins, with their distinctive waddling gait and distinctive black and white plumage, add a playful and lively energy to the scene. Eric de Mare's masterful composition and use of light and shadow bring the image to life, capturing the essence of the penguins' grace and agility as they swim and play in their meticulously designed habitat. The photograph is a testament to the power of architecture and design to enhance and complement the natural world, creating a harmonious and visually stunning environment. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a significant historical document, capturing a moment in time when modern design and the natural world came together to create a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors to the Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park.
