EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving showcases the grace and beauty of the endangered Lar Gibbon, also known as the White-handed Gibbon or the Petit Gibbon (Hylobates lar). The image is based on an original illustration by Jacques de Seve, as featured in the seminal work "Histoire Naturelle, Generale et Particulière" (Natural History, General and Particular) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. Published in Paris by the Imprimerie Royale in 1766, this engraving is a testament to the natural history exploration of the 18th century. The Lar Gibbon is a primate native to Southeast Asia, with distinctive white fur on the undersides of its hands and feet, making it easily recognizable. They are known for their agility, living in the dense forests of the region and moving effortlessly through the trees. However, their population numbers have been declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) currently lists the Lar Gibbon as an endangered species. This engraving not only highlights the natural elegance of the Lar Gibbon but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's diverse wildlife. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver, L. Legrand, and the dedication of the naturalists and artists of the time to document and study the natural world.
