The title points to the finger prints of a monkey, though that wording comes from unverified notes the National Photo Company wrote on its negatives or sleeves. The company, based in Washington, D.C., produced a large body of views in the 1910s and 1920s, many sold as souvenirs and postcards, so a novelty subject like this fits its commercial output of the period. The date of about 1921 is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same range. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural deterioration of the original coatings.
