EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the extraordinary spectacle of Mr. Link, the Clever Monkey, at London's famed Hippodrome in June 1906. This image captures the moment Mr. Link, a chimpanzee dressed in gentleman's clothing, makes an appearance on stage. With a polite smile and a well-mannered demeanor, he greets visitors with a firm handshake, blurring the lines between man and beast. During the Edwardian era, Mr. Link was a sensation, drawing crowds with his remarkable abilities to mimic human behavior, eat with utensils, and even smoke a cigarette. Dressed in elegant clothing, complete with a top hat and cane, he was a sight to behold. The Hippodrome, a popular entertainment venue in London, was the perfect stage for this clever chimp to showcase his impressive repertoire of tricks and antics. The 1900s were a time of wonder and curiosity, and Mr. Link, the Missing Link, embodied the fascination with the animal kingdom and the mysterious connection between humans and our primate relatives. This photograph, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of entertainment and the captivating allure of the mysterious Mr. Link.
