CHIMP DRESSED AS NAPOLEON

If you've ever wanted to see a picture of a chimp dressed as Napoleon, now's your chance. Richard found this singular objet d'art yesterday. But where does it come from, and why?

  1. Hi the correct answer is :
    'Little Nap the Napoleon of the Chimpanzee World'
    He was famous around 1921,he would perform with small dogs and horses.
