X'mas
Delivery
Otto Rigan and his rhesus
monkey, Mucki, pose for a portrait. Notice Otto's
unhappy face and twisted hair and Mucki's innocent
face and dangling paw - Mucki habitually yanked
on Otto's hair when no one was looking to torment
him as part of their relentless sibling-esque taunting
of one another.
Otto walks the cobblestone
treets of Red Vienna with his Aunt and Godmother,
Ottilie, followed by his hunchbacked father, Matej.
If you look closely, you can see the monkey, Mucki,
poking out of his father's vest
This is the newspaper illustration
that heralded the story in 1928. You can see Otto
reunited with his mother, Mary in the center; the
statue of liberty bottom right; a rendering of the
photo of Otto and Mucki on the bench in the upper
right; his father Matej and Mucki telling fortunes
on the street in the bottom left, and the church
spires of Vienna top left.
This is the article that ran
in the Chicago Tribune while Otto was en route -
heralding his pending Holiday Reunion with his mother.
Eighteen month-old Otto upon
Maria's departure from Vienna to seek a better life
for her family.
