EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white portrait from the 20th century, we are introduced to Miss Ruth Clifford, a woman of striking beauty who bears an uncanny resemblance to the renowned actress, Miss Mary Pickford. However, what truly steals the spotlight in this image is her extraordinary pet - the smallest monkey in captivity. Contrary to popular belief, this adorable creature is not a mere baby but rather a rare dwarf specimen known as the squirrel monkey. With its miniature size and endearing features, it effortlessly captures our hearts. As we delve into this photograph captured on January 25th, 1923 by Central News for Europeana Photography, we witness a single moment frozen in time. The composition focuses solely on Miss Clifford and her diminutive companion; their bond palpable even through monochrome hues. The image exudes an air of elegance with Miss Clifford's poised posture and fashionable attire. Yet amidst all that sophistication lies an undeniable sense of joy as she gazes upon her beloved pet with affectionate eyes. This print serves as a testament to the enduring connection between humans and animals. It reminds us that even in solitude, one can find solace in companionship - no matter how small or unconventional it may be.
