EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating features of the Javan Lutung, or Semnopithecus pyrrhus, a primate species native to the tropical forests of Java, Indonesia. The Javan Lutung, also known as the Javan langur or Javan surili, is a member of the Old World monkey family, Trachypithecus, and is distinguished by its striking reddish-brown fur, contrasting with the black face and limbs. The engraving, created by Thomas Horsfield and published in Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon" in 1838, offers a detailed and accurate representation of this elusive and beautiful creature. The intricate lines and shading in the engraving capture the subtle textures of the Javan Lutung's fur, while the vibrant colors bring the animal to life. The Javan Lutung is an important species in its native habitat, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the forest ecosystem. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits, leaves, and insects. Unfortunately, their population has been declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, making conservation efforts essential to ensure their survival. This stunning illustration serves as a reminder of the natural beauty and diversity of the world's primate species, and the importance of preserving their habitats and protecting them from threats. The intricate details and beautiful colors of this engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or zoology.
