Glass Frame : Orangutan and chimpanzee prints
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Orangutan and chimpanzee prints
Orangutan and chimpanzee prints, from Dr Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification, 1905. Faulds, a Scottish scientist, was an early developer of fingerprint analysis. On the left are prints from the index toe of the left foot (top) and index finger of left hand (bottom) from a young orangutan. On the right are corresponding prints from a young chimpanzee. Both animals were kept at the Zoological Societys Gardens (now London Zoo) in Regents Park, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the unique finger and toe prints of an orangutan and a chimpanzee, taken from Dr Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification in 1905. Dr Faulds, a Scottish scientist, played a significant role in the early development of fingerprint analysis. On the left side of the image, we observe prints from the index toe of the left foot (top) and index finger of the left hand (bottom) belonging to a young orangutan. The corresponding prints from a young chimpanzee are displayed on the right side. These fascinating animals were residents at London Zoo's Zoological Society Gardens in Regents Park during that time. The intricate patterns captured by ink on paper reveal not only their distinctiveness but also highlight similarities between these primate species. This historical documentation serves as valuable research material for identification purposes and offers insights into early forensic science practices. As we delve into this photograph, we witness how scientific advancements have enabled us to compare and analyze fingerprints for both humans and animals alike. The smudges and lines etched onto this diagram provide crucial evidence for researchers studying primates' unique characteristics throughout history. In summary, this remarkable image transports us back to an era when fingerprint analysis was still in its infancy while emphasizing our continuous fascination with understanding nature's wonders through technology and research.
