EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an endangered Roloway Monkey in its natural habitat. Taken at the London Zoo in 1927, the image showcases this remarkable primate sitting on the ground, gazing upwards with a sense of curiosity and intelligence shining through its eyes. The monkey's delicate fingers gently grasp onto its tail, showcasing both dexterity and grace. Its posture exudes a calm confidence as it sits amidst lush foliage, seemingly unaware of the threat that looms over its species. Once considered a subspecies of the Diana Monkey, this particular Roloway Monkey was reclassified as a separate species in 2005 due to distinct characteristics. This historical significance adds depth to an already mesmerizing image. As we observe this old-world creature from West Africa, we are reminded of their vulnerability and endangered status. The bushmeat trade continues to pose a grave threat to these magnificent creatures' survival. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every detail - from the monkey's fur texture to its expressive face. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting these precious beings for future generations. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images, Fine Art Finder brings forth this thought-provoking print that not only celebrates nature's beauty but also raises awareness about conservation efforts needed to safeguard our planet's biodiversity.
