EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "An Unlikely Duo: The Golden Lion Tamarin and Andean Condor Amongst a Cacao Tree" This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli) published in Florence in 1842, presents a striking and unusual juxtaposition of two iconic South American species: the endangered Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) and the majestic Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus). The Golden Lion Tamarin, a small primate native to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, is depicted perched on a cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), its golden fur glowing against the lush green foliage. This tree is the source of chocolate, an essential ingredient in modern confections, and its presence in the image adds an intriguing layer of cultural and historical significance. Meanwhile, the Andean Condor, the largest flying bird in the Americas, is shown soaring gracefully above the forest canopy. Known for their distinctive V-shaped wings and impressive wingspan, these birds are a symbol of the Andean region and are considered a keystone species due to their role in maintaining the health of their ecosystem. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists within South America and the delicate balance between various species and their habitats. It also highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species, such as the Golden Lion Tamarin, and preserve the natural wonders of our world for future generations. This engraving is not only an exquisite work of art but also a testament to the fascination and curiosity that anthropologists and naturalists held for the diverse cultures and natural wonders of the world during the 19th century.
