The intricate woodblock printing technique brings out the vibrant colors and details of this remarkable artwork. The image evokes mixed emotions as we admire the primate's agility and skill while contemplating the concept of animal cruelty prevalent during that time. This piece serves as a reminder of our evolving relationship with animals throughout history.
