This is a vintage black and white woodcut print. It depicts a standing ape, rendered in a somewhat crude, illustrative style. The ape is anthropomorphic, standing upright on its hind legs and wearing what appears to be a short tunic or skirt with a checkered pattern. It has a large head with a prominent snout and is raising one hand to its mouth as if speaking or gesturing. Below the ape is a block of text in an old-fashioned typeface, likely French, with decorative flourishes. The background is a simple, grassy area with a few small plants. The entire image is framed by an ornate, decorative border with floral and geometric motifs. The paper has aged, showing some discoloration and wear.
