EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Siamang Gibbon, captured in 1897 by the talented artist Henry Ogg Forbes. The image is taken from Lloyd's Natural History - Monkeys, Part V, a remarkable book edited by R. Bowdler Sharpe and published by Edward Lloyd Limited in London during the late 19th century. In this close-up portrait of the Siamang Gibbon, we witness its enchanting smile as it sits gracefully on a branch amidst an outdoor setting. The gibbon's expressive eyes seem to hold centuries of wisdom and curiosity about the world around it. The photograph beautifully captures both the artistic and scientific aspects of this wild mammal. It serves as a testament to Forbes' skill in capturing nature's beauty through his artistry while also contributing valuable knowledge to natural history enthusiasts. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are transported back in time to an era when literature played a significant role in expanding our understanding of wildlife. This particular print offers us a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life that exists beyond our human realm. With its striking composition and attention to detail, this print not only celebrates the Siamang Gibbon but also pays homage to pioneers like Henry Ogg Forbes and R. Bowdler Sharpe who dedicated their lives to documenting Earth's diverse creatures for future generations.
