EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Indri indri et Nycticebus coucang" from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816, showcases two endangered and vulnerable primate species: the Indri indri, also known as the Indri or Babakoto, and the Sunda slow loris, Nycticebus coucang. The Indri indri, depicted on the left, is a large, diurnal primate native to Madagascar. With its distinctive white fur and bushy tail, the Indri is the largest lemur species and is considered an umbrella species, meaning that the preservation of its habitat benefits numerous other species. Sadly, this magnificent creature is currently listed as endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting, and climate change. On the right, the Sunda slow loris, Nycticebus coucang, is a nocturnal primate native to Southeast Asia. With its large, round eyes and distinctive elongated fingers, the Sunda slow loris is a fascinating and unique creature. It is classified as vulnerable due to threats such as habitat loss, hunting for the pet trade, and the traditional use of its body parts in traditional medicine. The engraving was created by the skilled hands of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The illustration was engraved by Guyard and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, with publication by F.G. Levrault. This historical piece of art not only showcases the beauty of these primates but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered and vulnerable species.
