Summary

Description

Cabinet card. Plain back.

Bought from an eBay seller in Winsen, Germany.

"Tuckesburg" was the home of Hermann Landois (1835-1905), professor of zoology and founder of the Westphalian Zoological Garden in Münster. The house, where he lived with his monkey, is within the grounds of the former zoo.

The statue of Prof. Hermann Landois which looms above the group (in the head of which is a nesting box for starlings), was sculpted by August Schmiemann (1846-1927) to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the zoo in 1900. The statue now stands near the entrance of the present zoo, the Allwetterzoo, in Aasee.

If you are able to count how many schoolboys are in the picture, then you have more patience than me!
