EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures a moment of pure joy and amusement as three little monkeys chuckle with glee while Gran'Pop, the beloved orangutan character created by British artist Lawson Wood, entertains them with a shadow puppet show. Dating back to 1935, this humorous image showcases the timeless appeal of silhouettes and the power of a simple yet engaging performance. Gran'Pop, with his expressive face and playful demeanor, skillfully manipulates the shapes and shadows on the wall to bring his puppets to life. The monkeys, with their wide grins and eyes filled with wonder, are completely captivated by the show. The interplay of light and dark, the contrast between the seriousness of the monkeys' expressions and the whimsical nature of the shadows, and the warmth and humor of Lawson Wood's artistry all come together to create an image that is as charming and entertaining today as it was over 85 years ago. Lawson Wood, a master of the silhouette technique, was known for his amusing and humorous depictions of animals and humans. His ability to capture the essence of a character through the use of simple shapes and shadows made him a beloved figure in the world of British illustration. This photograph is a testament to his talent and the enduring appeal of his work.
