This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a peaceful moment in St James’s Park in 1968, featuring the park’s famous resident pelicans. Several of the large white birds are shown resting and preening on the green, leaf-strewn grass, a tradition in the park that dates back to the 17th century. In the background, a grey goose and other waterfowl wander near the edge of the lake, while the soft, hazy foliage of weeping willows and autumn trees lines the distant shore. The cool, natural tones of the water and the gentle dappled light on the lawn reflect the quiet charm of London’s oldest Royal Park during the late sixties. This digital download is a beautiful record of the city’s natural heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage wildlife wall art.
