Performing Monkey

Drawing of a performing monkey at the circus. In this vintage monkey image, we see a circus act with a young boy playing the harmonica while the monkey marches as if a drum major. In an outfit appropriate for his role as drum major, epaulets and a feather in his cap wave with each step he takes.

This February 10th, 1880 edition of Harper’s Young People had a number of wonderful drawings, including this one.
