Seligmann's contribution includes translating names into German and adding additional figures and plants not present in the originals. The central focus of the engraving is a mysterious figure known as Homo sylvestris or "The Man of the Woods". With its resemblance to a satyr or orangutan, this creature captures our imagination and sparks curiosity about unknown realms within nature.
