EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the handprint of a young gorilla named Chloe, taken in 1905 at the Zoological Society's Gardens (now London Zoo) in Regents Park, London. The artwork is part of Dr Henry Faulds's Guide to Finger-print Identification, highlighting his pioneering work in fingerprint analysis during the early 20th century. In this monochrome image, one can observe the intricate patterns and lines that make up Chloe's palm and fingers. Her palmar creases are clearly visible, adding a unique touch to her handprint. This historical artifact provides valuable insight into the world of primates and their similarities with human beings. The photograph serves as an important tool for research and identification purposes within forensic science. It demonstrates how fingerprints can be analyzed to distinguish individuals based on their distinct patterns. By comparing Chloe's gorilla handprint with that of a human handprint, scientists gain further understanding of evolutionary connections between species. Dr Henry Faulds played a significant role in advancing fingerprint recognition technology through his meticulous studies and documentation. His guide remains an essential reference for those studying forensics or interested in the history of fingerprint evidence analysis. This mesmerizing image not only captures the beauty found within nature but also highlights humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our animal counterparts through scientific exploration.
