EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "The Monkey Shaving" showcases the artistic talent of an English School. The print, now part of a private collection, is believed to have been featured in a book called Keepsake for the Young: A Book of Amusement by Aunt Friendly, published around 1880 by Frederick Warne. In this educational illustration, we witness a comical scene as a monkey takes on the role of barber. With great precision and attention to detail, the engraver skillfully captures every aspect of this amusing encounter. The monkey's intense focus and concentration are evident as he carefully shaves another primate with his primitive tools. This artwork not only entertains but also offers insight into societal norms and practices during that era. It serves as a reminder that even animals can exhibit human-like behavior when given certain opportunities or stimuli. "The Monkey Shaving" is an exquisite example of how art can transcend time and bring us closer to understanding our past. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection allows us to appreciate the intricate details and masterful technique employed by both artist and engraver alike.
