EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing personality of Consul, a chimpanzee trained by British menagerie owner Frank Charles Bostock, famously known as the Animal King. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the unique bond between humans and animals. In this postcard-like portrait, Consul sits confidently dressed in a smart three-piece suit, displaying an unexpected level of anthropomorphism. With his pensive gaze and cigarette in hand, he exudes an air of sophistication mixed with humor. The juxtaposition of his animal nature and human-like attire creates a comical yet entertaining scene that captivates viewers. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of Consul but also in its representation of British culture during the Edwardian era. It offers a glimpse into the eccentricities and sense of amusement prevalent at that time. As we admire this image from Germany's perspective within Europe, it reminds us how art transcends borders to bring joy across different cultures. Whether one sees it as a humorous comic or appreciates its historical value, this print serves as a testament to our fascination with animals and their ability to evoke emotions through their interactions with humans.
