KEYSTONE - MONSTER "The sweetness of its song did not defeat Ulysses. And people have given them an important place in art and legend. Today, thanks to more precise means of investigation and observation, fish can hold our attention in a very special way, and their mysterious world holds more than one surprise in store for us. This strange creature could not have attracted Ulysses by the sweetness of its song... In fact, it came out of the imagination of some navigator in the Middle Ages, and is made up of a fish tail, the body and head of a monkey, and the talons of a bird of prey", May 7, 1962. Photograph. Vintage silver print, stamp and label with handwritten caption on back. 13 x 18.1 cm
