From aardvarks to zebras, via bears, elephants, lions and monkeys, antique illustrations of animals are perennial favourites.
Use a print of a monkey to liven up a boring corner of your house. Also makes an ideal gift for a favourite niece or nephew, or even for your boss.
"I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections"
William Congreve 1695
