EDITORS COMMENTS
A Christmas Tradition Unfolding: Christine the Chimpanzee's Delight on Christmas Morning, 1956 In this heartwarming photograph, Christine, a beloved chimpanzee, makes her way downstairs on a chilly Christmas morning, dressed in cozy pyjamas, eager to discover the surprises awaiting her under the Christmas tree. Adopted by Miss Lilo Hess in 1952 and brought up in her Pennsylvania home, Christine had become an integral part of the Hess family. First introduced to the world through the Illustrated London News (ILN) in 1953, Christine's story captured the hearts of readers, who followed her adventures and growth with great interest. This Christmas morning scene is a testament to the deep bond that had formed between Christine and her human family. As she descends the staircase, the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree illuminate her path, while the presents beneath it beckon her closer. The warmth of the holiday season is palpable, and the anticipation in Christine's eyes is a reminder of the joy and wonder that Christmas brings to us all, human and chimpanzee alike. This photograph, taken in 1956, offers a glimpse into a unique and heartwarming chapter of history, where the lines between human and animal blurred, and a chimpanzee named Christine became a cherished member of the Hess family during the holiday season and beyond.
