I think its a real photo of a recreation of the ape.
No, it’s not a real photograph. It says so in the photograph.
I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic.
Sure but I think this photograph was taken in an era when the only technology available to make an image that looked like this was photography. At that time “not a real photograph” was the equivalent to the statement “a photograph of something which is not what it appears to be”.
