Abstract:
Advertising postcard for Benson's Wild Animal Farm featuring two nurses tending to five chimpanzees.The chimpanzees are sitting in highchairs with a long table in front of them. They all have bowls in front and two of them are using a spoon to feed themselves. They are wearing garments on the top half, each with a bib over that. There are two nurses behind them, both wearing white uniforms and hats. Both nurses are leaning over towards the chimpanzees, with their hands on the chairs. A wire cage encloses the back of the area. The text on the card reads “Benson’s quintuplets. Benson’s Wild Animal Farm, Nashua, N.H.”
