EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chimpanzee driving a car" takes us back to the 1940s, a time when attitudes towards animals and their exploitation were vastly different. The image showcases an English School's color lithograph that was originally created as an illustration for "The Clever Animals Picture Book" published by Ward Lock. In this peculiar scene, we witness a chimpanzee confidently seated behind the wheel of a vintage car. The cleverness and intelligence of these primates are on full display as they navigate through the streets with remarkable skill. Monkeys, apes, and other humanoid wildlife animals surround them, adding to the sense of wonderment. Transportation history enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot from mid-20th century life. It serves as a reminder of how our perception of animals has evolved over time. While it may seem odd or unusual today to exploit such intelligent creatures in this manner, it provides valuable insight into past societal attitudes. The vibrant colors and attention to detail in this artwork make it truly mesmerizing. As we gaze upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but marvel at the ingenuity displayed by both artist and subject alike. This print is not just an exploration of transportation modes; it encapsulates an era where humans sought entertainment even at the expense of exploiting nature's wonders. Let us cherish these historical artifacts while acknowledging our progress in treating animals with respect and compassion.
