Photograph of a chimpanzee named Sally drawing alongside human art student Marion Latter. «Art students are given every encouragement at the zoo. Most popular subjects for the regular students are the chimps and 6 1/2 year old Sally is completely vain about her modelling. When 18-year-old Marion Latter, of the Hornsey Art School was halfway through a portrait of her, Sally decided that the positions should be reversed. After impatiently trying to make a likeness of Marion and only producing a mass of lines, Marion helped her and left Sally to finish off the picture with great pride and care.» --text from verso.
