Organ Grinder with a Little Monkey. Organ grinders with monkeys were a familiar sight on the street in the 19th century. Often from Italy, poorly dressed, and barely able to make a living, they constituted an ‘interesting’ motif, just like beggars, drifters and street urchins. The wretched existence of such picturesque ‘types’ was a popular subject among both photographers and artists.
