EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Edward Griffiths' seminal work "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1824, showcases two intriguing primate species: the Red Slender Loris (Loris tardigradus) and the Senegal Bushbaby (Galago senegalensis). The Red Slender Loris, an endangered primate native to Sri Lanka and southern India, is depicted in its characteristic red-furred form, with its long, slender limbs extended gracefully. Its large, round eyes, which are adapted for nocturnal vision, are wide open, conveying a sense of curiosity and alertness. The Senegal Bushbaby, also known as the Senegal Galago or Senegal Gracile Lemur, is illustrated alongside the Red Slender Loris. This bushbaby, native to West Africa, is known for its agility and ability to leap long distances through the trees. Its fur is a mix of gray and brown, with a distinct white patch on its chest. Its large, round eyes, which are also adapted for nocturnal vision, are focused intently on something in the distance. This beautiful engraving not only serves as a testament to the natural history and zoological knowledge of the early 19th century, but also highlights the intrigue and fascination that these primates have held for generations. The meticulous hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Red Slender Loris and Senegal Bushbaby to life in a way that words alone cannot.
