Banksy’s Monkey Queen was first produced in 2003 and was the subject of several headlines in that same year. Pictures on Walls described the work as a chance to “celebrate the fact that the highest position in British society is not a reward for talent or hard work but is simply handed out with the accident of birth. God Save The Queen”.
Unsurprisingly, this Banksy print is one of his most controversial images making it one of the most popular and sought after. Along with the rat, the monkey is one of his most frequently used animal characters. Satirizing the nature of humankind, Banksy uses these animals as didactic figures in his critical social commentary.
