EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Endangered Grace: A Mother Gibbon and Her Young, Hylobates agilis, Ungaputi of Sumatra" This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by W.H. Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart, showcases the grace and agility of an endangered female gibbon, Hylobates agilis, also known as the "ungaputi" gibbon, native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. The mother gibbon is depicted in a naturalistic setting, cradling her young offspring in her arms, displaying the strong bond between them. The gibbon is a primate, belonging to the infraorder Simiiformes, and is characterized by its long arms, which are almost as long as its body. This adaptation allows gibbons to move effortlessly through the dense canopy of the rainforest. The female gibbon in this engraving is shown with her distinctive long, curved fingers, providing a clear indication of her arboreal lifestyle. The gibbon population is currently endangered due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and poaching. Rainforest destruction for agriculture and logging, as well as the illegal pet trade, pose significant threats to these primates. The mother gibbon in this image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving their natural habitat and protecting them from extinction. James Stewart's meticulous illustration, expertly translated into a hand-colored steel engraving by W.H. Lizars, provides a stunning visual representation of the beauty and vulnerability of this endangered species. This image invites us to appreciate the delicate balance of nature and the importance of conservation efforts to ensure the survival of the gibbon and other endangered species.
