EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by August Dumenil after an illustration by A. Carie Baron, presents a captivating encounter between two endangered species of the natural world: the Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena) and the Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus). The Striped Hyena, also known as the Striped Hyena or the Spotted Hyena, is a large and powerful scavenger native to Africa. With its distinctive striped coat and strong jaws, this elusive creature is an essential part of the African ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining balance within its habitat. In stark contrast, the Siamang, also known as the Gabby Langur or the Bear Monkey, is a primate native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. The Siamang is recognized by its long, prehensile tail, and its unique vocalizations, which can be heard echoing through the forest canopy. This species is considered endangered due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting. The intricate details of this engraving, taken from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, serve to highlight the beauty and diversity of these two remarkable animals. The delicate hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or zoology. As we admire this beautiful work of art, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. The Striped Hyena and the Siamang, along with countless other species, face numerous threats, and it is our responsibility to ensure their survival for future generations to enjoy.
