Little Napoleon
You surely have heard of Napoleon, the infamous French military leader who conquered most of Europe in the 1800s. He was known to be shrewd and extremely ambitious, and he was widely despised across the world/ He was the subject of much disgust, hate, and even some jokes too.
The dislike for Napoleon is why we see this tiny chimpanzee dressed up in clothes in order to mimic and mock the French leader. Napoleon died in 1821 at the age of 51, so he unfortunately did not live long enough to see his tiny monkey twin. The jokes though seem to continue to this day.
