EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Everetts Langur, a remarkable primate captured in 1897 by the talented artist Henry Ogg Forbes. The image is part of Lloyds Natural History - Monkeys, Part V, a renowned book edited by R. Bowdler Sharpe and published by Edward Lloyd Limited in London during the late 19th century. In this close-up shot taken outdoors, we see the majestic langur sitting on a branch against a backdrop of lush foliage. Its striking yellow eyes pierce through the lens, revealing both intelligence and curiosity. The langur's sleek black fur contrasts beautifully with its surroundings, emphasizing its wild nature. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also represents an intersection between art and science. It serves as a testament to Forbes' artistic prowess while contributing to our understanding of natural history during that era. The print collector who preserved this piece has allowed us to glimpse into the past, providing insight into how animals were studied and appreciated over a century ago. As we admire this portrait today, it reminds us of the rich heritage left behind by explorers like Forbes and scholars like Sharpe who dedicated their lives to unraveling nature's mysteries.
