EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Primates from Angola" takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing an exquisite engraving by the English School. The artwork portrays two remarkable creatures: a Man Ape and a Chimpanzi, both originating from Angola. The Man Ape, presented as a gift to Fredric Henry, Prince of Orange, is depicted with astonishing detail and precision. Standing at an impressive height of 2 feet 4 inches, this majestic creature captivates our imagination with its strength and grace. Its presence in this engraving serves as a testament to the fascinating diversity of primates found in Africa. Alongside the Man Ape stands a young Chimpanzi, only 21 months old when it was brought from Angola in 1738. This adorable primate exhibits all the curiosity and playfulness characteristic of its species. Despite being just over two feet tall at that age, it already displays remarkable resemblance to its adult counterparts. Engraved by Parr and published in "A New Collection of Voyages and Travels" by Picart in 1753, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the world of primates during that era. It reminds us of their significance within African wildlife while highlighting their unique characteristics through intricate portraiture. With Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving fine art prints like these for generations to come, we can continue marveling at these incredible creatures who share our planet but remain shrouded in mystery.
