EDITORS COMMENTS
Charlie the Chimp, a mischievous resident of Paignton Zoo in Devon, takes an unexpected break from his daily routine as he indulges in a rather unusual pastime. In this print captured by Lewis in February 1952, we witness Charlie puffing on a Hookah pipe with great gusto before settling down for his after-lunch nap. Amidst the backdrop of the 1950s, where humor and curiosity knew no bounds, this image showcases the playful nature of our primate counterparts. With his expressive eyes twinkling mischievously and a cloud of smoke enveloping him, Charlie exudes an air of sophistication that is both comical and endearing. While it may seem peculiar to witness a chimp partaking in such human-like behavior, it serves as a reminder that animals too possess their own quirks and preferences. This snapshot captures the essence of Charlie's personality - adventurous yet relaxed - as he immerses himself in this unconventional activity. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' collection, this photograph stands out not only for its historical significance but also for its ability to evoke laughter and wonderment. It reminds us that even within the confines of captivity at Paignton Zoo, these incredible creatures can surprise us with their ingenuity. Join us on this journey through time as we explore moments like these – snapshots frozen forever – offering glimpses into extraordinary lives lived by our animal companions.
