Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Orangutan and chimpanzee prints
Orangutan and chimpanzee prints, from Dr Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification, 1905. Faulds, a Scottish scientist, was an early developer of fingerprint analysis. On the left are prints from the index toe of the left foot (top) and index finger of left hand (bottom) from a young orangutan. On the right are corresponding prints from a young chimpanzee. Both animals were kept at the Zoological Societys Gardens (now London Zoo) in Regents Park, London

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the unique finger and toe prints of an orangutan and a chimpanzee, taken from Dr Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification in 1905. Dr Faulds, a Scottish scientist, played a significant role in the early development of fingerprint analysis. On the left side of the image, we observe prints from the index toe of the left foot (top) and index finger of the left hand (bottom) belonging to a young orangutan. The corresponding prints from a young chimpanzee are displayed on the right side. These fascinating animals were residents at London Zoo's Zoological Society Gardens in Regents Park during that time. The intricate patterns captured by ink on paper reveal not only their distinctiveness but also highlight similarities between these primate species. This historical documentation serves as valuable research material for identification purposes and offers insights into early forensic science practices. As we delve into this photograph, we witness how scientific advancements have enabled us to compare and analyze fingerprints for both humans and animals alike. The smudges and lines etched onto this diagram provide crucial evidence for researchers studying primates' unique characteristics throughout history. In summary, this remarkable image transports us back to an era when fingerprint analysis was still in its infancy while emphasizing our continuous fascination with understanding nature's wonders through technology and research.
