EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print from Meyers Lexicon, published in 1924, features a stunning image of a Bornean orangutan, scientifically known as Pongo pygmaeus. The intricate details captured in this historical illustration showcase the beauty and complexity of this great ape species native to the lush rainforests of Borneo.
The orangutan's expressive eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer, conveying a sense of intelligence and curiosity that is characteristic of these remarkable primates. Its long arms and shaggy reddish-brown fur are depicted with precision, highlighting the unique physical characteristics that make orangutans such fascinating creatures.
As one of the closest living relatives to humans, orangutans hold a special place in our hearts as symbols of both strength and vulnerability in the face of environmental threats.
