EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of chaos and intrigue from the year 1930. An escaped chimpanzee, mischievous and agile, has found its way onto the roof of a building in France. As onlookers gather below, a brave fireman ascends a ladder in an attempt to apprehend the clever ape. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as the woman watches anxiously from her window. The graphic design of this image, featured on the back cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre" adds to its charm and historical significance. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only an animal's daring escape but also glimpse into the world of emergency services during that era. The determination etched on the faces of both man and primate reveals their shared struggle for dominance over their respective domains. As we delve into this piece by an unknown creator, we are reminded that humor can be found even amidst unexpected circumstances. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire to protect those around us. Through its composition and subject matter, this print transports us back to 1930s France—a time when newspapers were at their prime as sources of news and entertainment. It invites us to reflect upon our relationship with animals while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind capturing such fleeting moments in history.
