EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Mother's Bond: Philippine Tarsier and Its Infant, 1775 This image showcases the tender moment between a Philippine Tarsier mother and her clinging infant, as depicted in an 18th-century copperplate engraving from Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature" or "Schreber's Fantastic Animals." The Philippine Tarsier, scientifically known as Carlito syrichta (formerly known as Simia syrichta), is an endemic primate species native to the Philippines. The mother tarsier is skillfully illustrated with her delicate features, large, expressive eyes, and pointed ears, while her offspring is shown tightly bound to her body using a simple grass belt. The intricate details of their fur, facial expressions, and posture convey a sense of intimacy and protection. This engraving, produced after an illustration by James Petiver, provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating primates during the 18th century. The Philippine Tarsier, a small, nocturnal primate, is known for its long fingers and thumbs, which enable it to grasp and manipulate objects with remarkable dexterity. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the intricate relationships between various species, including those between mothers and their offspring. The Philippine Tarsier, once hunted for its fur and meat, is now protected under Philippine law and is considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and fragmentation. This image, with its historical significance and endearing subject matter, continues to captivate viewers and inspire curiosity about the natural world.
