EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Tails, man and gorilla" takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of evolution. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the intricate similarities between humans and gorillas, highlighting our shared ancestry. It was originally commissioned as an illustration for A Picture Book of Evolution by Dennis Hird in 1906. The book aimed to educate readers about the concept of evolution and its implications. In this print, we see side-by-side comparisons of various skeletal structures such as bones and sacrum from both species. These elements serve as evidence supporting Darwin's theory that all living organisms are connected through common ancestors. The attention to detail in this lithograph is remarkable; it beautifully captures the essence of these two creatures while emphasizing their evolutionary connection. By juxtaposing these images together, viewers are encouraged to contemplate our place within the animal kingdom and reflect upon our shared history. As we gaze at this thought-provoking artwork, we can't help but marvel at how far science has come since its creation over a century ago. This print serves as a reminder that understanding our past helps shape our future - reminding us that even though we may appear different on the surface, deep down inside, we are all interconnected beings with tales to tell.
