Monkey Thief

A caged monkey steals a pair of spectacles right off a lady’s face in this humorous vintage drawing. The clever little fellow simply reaches through the bars and grabs the eye glasses. This public domain monkey image would add a bit of mischievous fun to whatever project it graces.

This is one of a number of drawings the I felt deserved being included on Reusable Art from The Nursery, April 1877, Vol. XXI. No. 4.
