EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the beauty and majesty of a Sumatran Orang-Outang, an endangered species native to the lush rainforests of Sumatra. Created by a talented German School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this magnificent creature to life, showcasing its unique features and expressive eyes. The illustrator R. Oakes and engraver Johann Nusbiegel have masterfully depicted every strand of fur, creating a sense of realism that transports viewers into the heart of the jungle. Originally published in "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit BeschreibungenA" by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber, this artwork serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical document. It provides invaluable insight into our understanding of natural history during that era. The Sumatran Orang-Outang, also known as Pongo abelii or Simia satyrus, holds great significance due to its critical role in maintaining biodiversity within its habitat. This print not only celebrates the orangutan's striking appearance but also raises awareness about their conservation needs. Displayed proudly by Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, this enchanting engraving invites us to appreciate nature's wonders while reminding us of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures for generations to come.
