Being reared as a child, complete with nappies - that is the lot of two-month-old baby chimp Mary. This heartwarming photo captures the incredible bond between Mary and her caretaker, Mrs. Margaret Bloom, wife of the assistant zoo director at Chester Zoo in December 1958. Abandoned by her mother, little Mary found solace in the loving arms of Mrs. Bloom, who took on the challenging task of raising her alongside her own 18-month-old son, Peter. In this image, we witness their unique friendship blossoming. Peter and Mary are inseparable companions when Mary isn't feeling mischievous enough to pinch him! At present, Peter enjoys being the center of attention while his furry friend looks up to him with adoration. However, as time goes by and Mary grows stronger and more independent, she will surely have her chance to turn the tables on Peter. This photograph not only showcases an extraordinary connection between a human and a chimpanzee but also highlights Mrs. Bloom's dedication towards nurturing these vulnerable creatures. It serves as a timeless reminder that love knows no boundaries or species. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints from Mirrorpix's extensive collection dating back to the 1950s; this snapshot invites us into a world where compassion transcends differences.
