Performing monkeys in knitted jackets, 1937

Boys and girls in caps crowd the fence, faces turned toward the ring; inside, a small monkey dressed in a knitted jacket and cap sits upright on a sloping board, a chain round its neck, and a second monkey clambers up beside it, while the legs of spectators and a trainer show at the back. Performing monkeys dressed as people were a staple of the travelling shows; the animal protection law of November 1933, much trumpeted by the regime, did not forbid them.
