EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Critically Endangered Sunda Pangolin: A Glimpse into the Past through Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving" The Sunda Pangolin, Manis javanica, is a critically endangered mammal species native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. This image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving, drawn from nature and engraved by A. Fleischmann, taken from Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature," or "Schreber's Fantastic Animals," published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1775. The intricately detailed engraving showcases the Sunda Pangolin's unique physical features, including its protective keratin scales, elongated claws, and prehensile tail. The animal is depicted in a defensive posture, curled up into a ball, with its sharp claws and sharp spines on its back and sides raised to protect itself from potential predators. The Sunda Pangolin is critically endangered due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching for its meat and scales, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine. This beautiful engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving this elusive and fascinating creature and its habitat. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Sunda Pangolin to life and highlighting its intricate scales and delicate features. The copperplate engraving technique, a popular method for producing detailed and accurate illustrations during the 18th and 19th centuries, adds a historical and artistic significance to this rare and valuable piece. This engraving is not only a testament to the natural history of the Sunda Pangolin but also a reminder of the rich artistic and scientific heritage of the past. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world and to take action to protect endangered species like the Sunda Pangolin for future generations.
