EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Young Banded Langur (Presbytis femoralis) This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a young Banded Langur (Presbytis femoralis), also known as the Banded Surili or Maura Langur. The image is a masterpiece from the renowned collection of animal illustrations by Johann Christian Daniel Schreber, published in Erlangen, Germany, during the 18th century. The illustration was drawn and engraved after nature by Hermann Jakob Tyroff, showcasing the intricate details and lifelike accuracy that characterized Schreber's work. The young Banded Langur is seen in a naturalistic setting, perched on a tree branch with its curious expression and playful demeanor. The species is native to Southeast Asia, primarily found in the forests of Sumatra, Borneo, and Java. Banded Langurs are known for their distinctive black and white stripes, which provide excellent camouflage in their forest habitat. The Banded Langur is a primate, belonging to the family Cercopithecidae, and is closely related to other Old World monkeys. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits, leaves, flowers, and insects. These social animals live in groups consisting of multiple families, with a dominant male leading each group. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of Schreber and Tyroff, providing a window into the natural world of the 18th century. The intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the young Banded Langur continue to fascinate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Southeast Asia.
