Stamped on back, "Must Credit: NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY PHOTO. When this print has served its purpose, please enclose between two heavy pieces of cardboard and return to: PHOTOGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT. New York Zoological Park. New York 60, N.Y." Typewritten note attached to the back, "2. the four "Little Women" in the Bronx Zoo--four baby Chimpanzees, from central Africa, which now have a big yard of their own in the Bronx Zoo's Great Apes House. They play out of doors, on a "jungle gym" and on a slide, in good weather. Sometimes they get tired of man-made toys, and have a good time all by themselves with such simple "Props" as the hinges on the door that leads to their enclosure."
