EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this print is a heartwarming moment from the bustling streets of West End, London in 1948. Marquis the Chimpanzee, known for his incredible talents, can be seen skillfully riding a bicycle while carrying two-year-old Baron on his shoulders. This dynamic duo embarks on their morning exercise routine, captivating passersby with their extraordinary display of balance and trust. Little did anyone know at that time that this troupe of chimpanzees would soon become famous as 'Marquis and Family'. Their unique abilities caught the attention of Brooke Bond Foods in 1960 when they were signed to star in a series of television commercials for Red Rose Tea. These commercials showcased the chimps' playful antics through parodies such as a Wild West shoot out, an amusing golf match, and most notably, a wild nightclub scene where they formed a swinging chimp band singing praises for Red Rose Tea. This photograph not only captures an unforgettable moment between Marquis and Baron but also serves as a reminder of the joy these talented animals brought to people's lives during those simpler times. It stands as testament to the enduring power of humor and showcases how even our animal friends can bring laughter into our world.
