1872 Banjo Creature Dressed Feather Mirror Monkey Toilet Tricorne
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment of amusement and connection between a woman and a monkey during a playful make-over session in the late 19th century. Dressed in a military jacket and tricorne hat adorned with a feather, the monkey gazes at its reflection in the mirror, seemingly with a hint of skepticism. The woman, delighted by the transformation, smiles approvingly at the creature's new historical appearance. The image, reminiscent of a bygone era, transports us back to a time when the line between human and animal was blurred, and the fascination with exotic creatures was a popular pastime. The monkey's toilette, complete with a banjo for musical accompaniment, adds to the whimsical atmosphere of the scene. The photograph, taken in 1872, offers a glimpse into the world of historical reenactment and the human desire to dress up and play roles other than our own. The tricorne hat, a symbol of power and prestige during the 18th century, adds to the grandeur of the monkey's costume. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of playful moments and the connection between humans and animals, as well as a reminder of the rich history that surrounds us.
