How Rare! The Bronx Zoo

 

As I have said, 2,318 times, it's weird the things that you find in a box of slides.  Like a photograph of a photograph.

Tonight, my plan of an evening of political discourse, obscene discussions and a moderate intake of alcohol was thwarted by Mr H heading off to visit Dublin Zoo.  So, here's a  picture of Laurance Rockefeller, Fairfield Osborn, Capt. Jean Delacour, Allyn Jennings, and Raymond Ditmars holding a baby chimpanzee, sitting at a table having tea at the Bronx Zoo in New York. From a 1941 edition of Vogue.

Probably related to this pic in the Getty Archives.
