From the Forest to the Laid Table - A Captivating Scene of Chimpanzee Etiquette
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "From the forest to the laid table" captures a truly bizarre and original scene that unfolded daily in a special enclosure at the London Zoological Garden. The image, created by Achille Beltrame in 1933, showcases trained chimpanzees exhibiting their understanding of etiquette as they sit around a table like men. In this amusing spectacle, these intelligent creatures demonstrate their ability to behave as diners with only a few comical grimaces interrupting their otherwise impeccable manners. The crowd surrounding them is filled with cheerful interest and amusement at this unusual performance. The illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on September 17th, 1933. It portrays an entertaining tea party-like setting where chimpanzees entertain audiences with their remarkable dining skills. This peculiar show has become one of the highlights for visitors to London Zoo. Beltrame's artwork beautifully captures both the strange and endearing aspects of this scene. His skillful use of color lithography brings life to each character - from curious spectators observing in awe to mischievous monkeys enjoying themselves amidst all the excitement. This print not only provides entertainment but also serves as a testament to nature's wonders and our shared connection with wildlife. It reminds us that even within urban environments like London, we can witness extraordinary displays of intelligence and behavior from our animal counterparts.
