EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, showcases a rare comparison between the skeletal structures of an Akka Woman, a man of ordinary height, and a Du Chaillus Gorilla. The image is part of a private collection and provides us with valuable insights into the anatomical differences among these three subjects. The Akka Woman's delicate skeleton is juxtaposed against that of the man of ordinary height, revealing intriguing disparities in bone structure. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how our bodies can vary even within our own species. However, what truly captivates attention is the inclusion of the Du Chaillus Gorilla's skeleton. Its massive frame dwarfs both human skeletons, emphasizing its incredible strength and power. This comparison serves as a reminder of our place in nature's hierarchy. Originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on April 30th, 1890, this photograph continues to fascinate viewers today. It offers not only scientific value but also sparks curiosity about our shared ancestry with other primates. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that photography has long been used as a tool to document and explore humanity's relationship with both ourselves and the natural world around us.
