Artifact"Monkey Bar" Diorama, Made by Prisoner Patrick J. Culhane and Presented to Henry Ford, 1914-1915
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.
