31. ‘COCO’ THE HUMAN BABOON
Just look at him, Coco, the Human Baboon! On a postcard stamped and posted in London, 15 March 1905, advertising his appearance at the Walthamstow Palace, this ludicrous character is monkeying about, dressed in an over-large coat and a tall hat, and carrying a walking stick. Coco had office, dressed in his fur coat and tall hat; the journalist who received him noted that he preferred travelling up in the lift rather than swinging up the balusters.
