EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Philippine Flying Lemur, scientifically known as Cynocephalus volans, also referred to as the Kolugo or Galeopithecus rufus. The image was created by the skilled hand of James Basire and published in Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" by the renowned naturalist Georges Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1824. The Philippine Flying Lemur is an endemic species native to the Philippines and is not actually a true lemur, but rather a type of gliding primate. Its unique anatomy includes a membranous patagium, which allows it to glide through the forest canopy with remarkable agility. The species is characterized by its large, bushy tail, pointed snout, and fur that ranges from reddish-brown to grayish-brown in color. This engraving provides an accurate and intricate representation of the Philippine Flying Lemur's physical features, showcasing its delicate facial features, textured fur, and the intricate details of its membranous wings. The image also provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species, which was a subject of great interest to naturalists and explorers of the time. The meticulous craftsmanship of this engraving is evident in the fine lines and shading, which bring the Philippine Flying Lemur to life in stunning detail. The hand-coloring further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the animal's fur and wings. Overall, this engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the time, providing a lasting record of the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it.
