EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of connection between man and beast in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, circa 1912. The image features a chimpanzee named Peter, who has learned to salute in an uncanny imitation of human behavior. Dressed in a small tunic and standing on two legs, Peter raises his right hand in a respectful salute, his dark, intelligent eyes meeting those of the photographer. The backdrop of this extraordinary scene is the lush, tropical landscape of Freetown, with its verdant foliage and vibrant colors. The image transports us back in time to an era when the boundaries between human and animal seemed less defined, and the natural world held a greater allure and mystery. Sierra Leone, located on the western coast of Africa, was a British protectorate during this period. European explorers, scientists, and missionaries were drawn to the region for its rich natural resources and cultural diversity. It was during this time that Peter, and likely other chimpanzees, came into contact with humans, leading to the development of unique relationships and behaviors. This photograph is a testament to the remarkable intelligence and adaptability of chimpanzees, our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom. It also serves as a reminder of the complex history between humans and animals, and the enduring fascination we have with the natural world and its inhabitants.
