EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on November 14th, 1960, we witness an extraordinary scene at a building site in Lincolns Inn Fields, London. A group of workmen find themselves accompanied by an unexpected new mate - Maxie the chimp. This mischievous primate is set to showcase his talents before none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself at a special performance of the Bertram Mills Circus held at Olympia on December 21st. The image captures Maxie's surprising dexterity as he deftly wields a trowel with his prehensile toes. With great skill and concentration, he spreads cement onto a brick before carefully placing it within the construction site. Dressed in an adorable boiler suit and sporting a corduroy cap, Maxie seamlessly blends into the bustling atmosphere of scaffolding and pallets surrounding him. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both human-animal camaraderie and the astonishing abilities of our animal counterparts. Nature has truly blessed us with creatures capable of adapting their innate skills to assist us in our daily endeavors. As we marvel at Maxie's contribution to this building project, we are reminded that there is much more to discover about the natural world around us – even within our own concrete jungles.
