EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork of a Bornean orangutan from the 19th century. The piece, titled "Bornean Orangutan, 19th Century C013 / 6436" is Plate 10 from the renowned volume "Le Regne Animal" by French naturalist and zoologist Georges Cuvier. This particular volume covered mammals, making it an invaluable contribution to the field of zoology. The lithograph drawing depicts the face of this endangered primate with remarkable detail and precision. The orangutan's agile body is shown gripping onto a vine as it gracefully moves through its arboreal habitat in Indonesia. Every line and stroke in this watercolor artwork captures the essence of this magnificent creature's behavior and biology. Created in 1817, this historical masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation during that era. It offers us a glimpse into the world of natural history as seen through Cuvier's eyes. Displayed proudly by the Natural History Museum in London, this print not only celebrates wildlife but also pays homage to Georges Cuvier's significant contributions to our understanding of animals. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures for future generations.
