EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, depicts a round robin or trained ape engaging in a performance for a group of children. The monkey, dressed in a colorful outfit, holds out a small bowl to the young audience, inviting them to make a contribution by dropping a coin into it. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are eagerly encouraged by their nanny to participate in the interaction. Round robins, also known as performing monkeys, were a popular form of entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These monkeys were trained to perform various tricks and acts, often dressed in elaborate costumes, and were a common sight in circuses, fairs, and public events. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of entertainment during a bygone era. The children's expressions of delight and curiosity, as well as the nanny's watchful eye, add to the charm and nostalgia of the scene. The photograph also highlights the role of animals in human history and the way they have been used for entertainment and education. The round robin's performance, with its simple yet engaging interaction with the children, serves as a reminder of the universal appeal of live entertainment and the joy it brings to people of all ages. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images, offering a unique perspective on the past and the ways in which people have found joy and wonder in the world around them.
