EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Ouran Outang, also known as the Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), a primate native to the rainforests of Borneo. The Ouran Outang is the largest arboreal primate in the world, with males reaching up to 1.5 meters in height and weighing up to 60 kilograms. The species is named after the Greek goddess of the forest, Ouranos, and the Malay word 'outang,' meaning 'man of the forest.' The Ouran Outang is easily recognizable by its distinctive reddish-brown fur, long arms, and opposable thumbs. In this illustration, the primate is depicted in a playful pose, sitting on a tree branch with its legs crossed and a satyr-like expression on its face. The intricate details of the Ouran Outang's fur and facial features are beautifully captured in this engraving, which was published in The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine between 1798 and 1802. The Ouran Outang was first described scientifically by George Edwards in 1764, and this illustration may be based on one of the specimens he studied. The species is considered critically endangered today due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the remaining populations and their rainforest habitats. This historical illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of the Ouran Outang but also highlights the importance of natural history in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
