Original post here. Cthulhu alone knows what sort of medium this madness originally appeared in, but the illustration has two captions, the first in French:
Gorille enlevant une femme. La Gorille est un singe de taille gigantesque, habitant les fôrets équatoriales de l’Afrique. Sa taille est haute d’à peu près et
sa force égale à celle de plusiers hommes. Le tableau exposé à vos yeux représente un de ces terribles animaux qui, après avoir attaqué un homme et une femme, sur la lisièrie de la fôret, tue le mari et s’enfuit dans l’intérieur du bois avec la malheureuse femme, et annouie entre ses pattes redoutables.
And another in English.
Gorilla taking a woman away. The gorilla is a monkey of gigantic nature who inhabits the equatorial forests of Africa. His height is that of about six feet and his strength that of several men put together. The picture on exhibition here represents one of those terrible animals whoafter attack a man and his wife, on the outskirt of the forest, killed husband and ray away into the depths of the forest with the woman lying between his dreaded paws senseless.
