EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating piece of history - the Perzinas Monkey Comedians. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image showcases a unique form of entertainment from that era. The monkeys, dressed in elaborate costumes, are seen performing for an audience. The photograph provides a glimpse into the world of anthropomorphism and animal performance during this time period. The monkeys' ability to mimic human behavior is both intriguing and amusing. Their outfits reflect the fashion trends of the Edwardian era, adding another layer of historical significance to the image. Originating from Germany, these monkey comedians were popular not only in their home country but also throughout Europe, including Great Britain. This particular photo was featured as an illustration in Black & White Budget magazine on June 14th, 1902. As we admire this print from a private collection, it serves as a reminder of how entertainment has evolved over time. It also highlights our complex relationship with captive animals and raises questions about ethics and animal welfare. With its rich cultural references spanning across Germany and Great Britain, this print offers us a window into European history at the turn of the century. It is truly a remarkable piece that invites contemplation on both past entertainments and societal values surrounding animals.
