EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Red Slender Loris, Loris tardigradus, an endangered primate native to the rainforests of Sri Lanka and southern India. The Red Slender Loris is a small, arboreal primate, with a slender body and long, bushy tail. Its fur is a distinctive reddish-brown color, with white fur on its underbelly and limbs, making it well-camouflaged in its forest habitat. The Red Slender Loris is a nocturnal creature, spending the daylight hours hidden among the branches, and emerging at night to forage for food. Its diet consists mainly of insects, but it will also eat fruit, flowers, and small vertebrates. Sadly, this beautiful creature is currently listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Its population is declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting for the pet trade and traditional medicine. This stunning print, drawn from nature and engraved by H.I. Tyroff, is a testament to the natural beauty of the Red Slender Loris. It is taken from Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature," also known as "Schreber's Fantastic Animals," published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1775. The print is a hand-colored copperplate engraving, which adds to its intricate and detailed appearance. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and protecting endangered species like the Red Slender Loris. Let us all do our part to ensure that future generations can marvel at the beauty and wonder of this enchanting creature.
