EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful chromolitho print captures a whimsical scene of anthropomorphic monkeys engaging in a game of billiards on a Christmas greetings card. Created by the English School in the late 19th century, this satirical cartoon showcases their mastery in blending humor and artistry. The monkeys, dressed as gentlemen, are depicted with incredible detail and expressiveness, adding to the charm of the illustration. The vibrant colors and intricate composition transport us to a Victorian-era billiards room where these playful primates enjoy leisurely moments together. The baize-covered table is adorned with cue sticks and colorful balls while the monkeys showcase their skillful trick shots. Their mischievous expressions hint at an enjoyable rivalry among friends. Accompanying this amusing image is a clever verse or rhyme that adds another layer of festive cheer to this charming artwork. This unique piece from the Valerie Jackson Harris Collection evokes nostalgia for an era when greeting cards were cherished keepsakes exchanged during special occasions like Christmas. As we admire this historical gem, it reminds us not only of our love for animals but also our appreciation for sportsmanship and friendship. It serves as a reminder that even amidst holiday celebrations, there's always room for lighthearted fun and enjoyment with loved ones.
