Description
An account of the resource
Short article from the Evening Citizen describing the arrival of a rare monkey named the white-nosed saki at the Berlin Zoological Garden. The article describes the physical appearance and attributes of the monkey, while noting that the animal is probably the first living example to reach Germany. An article such as this, which details the happenings of a zoo in as far-removed a country from Scotland as Germany, highlights the level of interest and curiosity which animals held for the people of Glasgow at this time, helping to explain the fervour with which said citizens pursued the goal of their own zoological garden.
