About the Item

These two lithographs present primates in naturalistic settings, with careful attention to their anatomy and behavior. They are part of a series drawn by Carel Christiaan Antony Last and published in Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's *Volledige Natuurlijke Historie der Zoogdieren* in 1836. Printed by S. de Visser en Zoon in The Hague, these illustrations depict various species of primates that were of great interest to European naturalists during the early 19th century. The first lithograph (Pl. 25) depicts two primates: an orangutan (De Orang-Oetang) and a chimpanzee (De Chimpanse). The orangutan is shown climbing a tree, gazing upward, with detailed attention given to its long limbs and fur. The chimpanzee, also perched on a tree, exhibits a more contemplative posture, looking outward. These species were relatively new to European audiences at the time, and their inclusion in natural history works like Schinz’s was intended to highlight their biological and behavioral traits. The second lithograph (Pl. 26) features a siamang (*De Siamang*) and a group of gibbons (De gele Gibbon), a mother with a young one and another individual, shown swinging between trees. The lithograph captures the gibbons’ agile movement, with their long arms stretched as they move between branches. Gibbons and siamangs are closely related and known for their brachiation—a form of arboreal locomotion, which is beautifully depicted in the illustration. These prints, like the others in Schinz's volume, were created as part of the larger scientific and artistic effort of the 19th century to catalog and document the world’s fauna. The combination of the scientific and artistic processes in these prints reflects the era's emphasis on natural observation and classification. The attention to detail in the musculature, facial expressions, and interactions with their environment reflects a European curiosity in understanding these exotic creatures. Both prints were designed to be educational for a European audience, with the aim of expanding knowledge about the diversity of the animal kingdom, particularly primates, who at the time were subjects of fascination due to their close resemblance to humans. The inclusion of species such as the orangutan and gibbon in these works emphasized the perceived evolutionary links between humans and other animals, a concept that was beginning to take root in scientific thought at the time.
