EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic head of an orangutan, beautifully illustrated in exquisite detail. Taken from The Royal Natural History, a publication released in 1896, this digitally enhanced image showcases the incredible artistry of the English School from the 19th century. The orangutan's intense gaze and expressive features are brought to life through this blue-toned engraving. Its fur appears wild and untamed, emphasizing its status as a magnificent creature of the wild. This photograph is a testament to both the skill of the artist and the beauty found within nature. Displayed against a plain background, this head and shoulders portrait allows us to focus solely on the awe-inspiring presence of this ape. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still corners untouched by human influence where such remarkable creatures roam freely. With its rich history dating back to centuries past, this image transports us back to a time when wildlife photography was still emerging as an art form. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with animals and their place in our collective imagination. As part of private collection curated by Look and Learn, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. Bridgeman Images has preserved it for future generations to appreciate - an homage not only to these extraordinary animals but also to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our natural world.
