EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, transports us back in time to a charming zoo monkey house. The glass-roofed pavilion, part of the Box 175 Boswell Collection, is filled with intriguing cages that house our lively primate friends. The sturdy iron bars and wooden structures give an authentic feel of the early zoological exhibits. The monkey house's glass roof allows natural light to filter in, creating a bright and airy environment for the monkeys. The lanterns hanging from the roof suggest that artificial light may have been used to illuminate the enclosures during evening hours. The monkeys, with their curious expressions and playful antics, are a delight to observe. Their agility and dexterity are on full display as they climb the wooden structures and swing from branch to branch. The diverse range of monkeys, each with their unique features, adds to the fascination of this scene. This photograph is a testament to the early days of zoo exhibits and the fascination that monkeys held for people during that era. The intricate details and natural lighting in the image make it a beautiful addition to any collection, transporting us to a time when a visit to the zoo was an adventure filled with wonder and discovery.
