EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving showcases the skeletal structure of the Agile Gibbon, scientifically known as Hylobates agilis. The image is a beautiful representation of the intricacies of this primate's anatomy, as depicted in the historic work "Histoire Naturelle, Generale et Particulière" by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. The illustration was created by Jacques de Seve and expertly engraved by Baquoy for the Imprimerie Royale in Paris, France, in 1766. The Agile Gibbon, also referred to as the White-handed Gibbon, is an Old World monkey native to Southeast Asia. Known for their agility and grace, these primates are characterized by their long arms, which can reach up to 2 meters in length, and their opposable thumbs, allowing them to grasp branches with great dexterity. This engraving provides a unique perspective on the skeletal structure that supports their remarkable abilities. The Agile Gibbon is an endangered species, with populations declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting, and the pet trade. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and understanding the anatomy and ecology of the diverse species that inhabit our planet.
