Photograph of a chimpanzee named Congo posing in front of one of his paintings. «Congo the chimp gestures with pride at one of his efforts during preview of his paintings in London. Mr. Desmond Morris of the London Zoo where Congo is a tenant says there is a difference between the latter's methods and those used by Betsy, the Baltimore, Md., chimp. ‘The American paints with his fingers. Our Congo uses a brush. A decided difference.' Congo's 24 oil paintings and Betsy's 36 works of art went on public exhibition in the British capital today.» --text on recto.
