Captain J. Fitzgerald with Kathleen, a 2 year old macaque from French Morocco, on his shoulder. Captain Fitgerald was the Officer in charge of the younger apes, kept in a cage on the Upper Rock, which is a job he did in addition to his regular duties (around 1939-1945)
Captain Fitzgerald's assistant for looking after the macaques was Gunner D. R. Carpenter of the Rose and Crown, Tottenham, who was well known on The Rock for his fondness for his macaque charges. This image shows Gunner Carpenter checking a new arrival from Tangiers on the nominal role (around 1939-1945)

Famous quotes containing the word gallery:

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “Each morning the manager of this gallery substituted some new picture, distinguished by more brilliant or harmonious coloring, for the old upon the walls.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
