  • Vintage 60s 1960s British Press Photo Picture Journalism News Paper Dinosaur Prehistory Frame Decor Gift

    Vintage 60s British Press Photo Dinosaur

    75.00

    Vintage 70s original press photograph

    This original vintage press photograph was taken by British journalist and photographer Bill Zygmant and distributed by Rex Features Ltd. in London. The reverse bears the original Rex Features copyright stamp, together with the instruction “Please credit Bill Zygmant”, confirming the photographer’s credit.
    Shot on black-and-white film, the photograph captures a remarkable scene from 1973: the transportation of a gigantic model dinosaur, a Cetiosaurus, on its way to a new prehistoric theme park in Aviemore, Scotland.

    The enormous dinosaur model was created by British model maker Alan Ross and measured approximately 5 metres (16.4 ft) high and 14 metres (46 ft) long. Due to its extraordinary size, transporting the model through the streets was no ordinary undertaking. The operation required careful planning, traffic control and police guidance, turning the journey itself into quite a spectacle.

    The photograph beautifully captures the sheer scale of the dinosaur in relation to the surrounding vehicles, buildings and people, giving a wonderful sense of just how extraordinary this sight must have been at the time. It is a fascinating snapshot of both 1970s Britain and the imaginative world of prehistoric attractions that fascinated the public during the period.

    With its striking black-and-white imagery, unusual subject and strong sense of scale, this original press photograph would make a stylish and characterful addition to a vintage interior, study, office, or collection of natural-history and dinosaur memorabilia.

    After more than 50 years, the photograph remains in good vintage condition, with authentic signs of age and handling. There is some visible wear along the left edge of the photograph, consistent with its age and history as an original press image.
