Description: |
In 1915, Patrick J. Culhane, an inmate at the Massachusetts State Prison,
presented this diorama to Henry Ford. Culhane
depicted monkeys engaging in activities he believed lead to the downfall of
many prisoners, such as gambling and drinking alcohol. Ford, interested in
the man who produced this elaborate work, probably secured Culhane's release and gave him a job at the Ford assembly
plant in Cambridge, Massachusetts |
