EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Old Sally, who lived above the average age" showcases an extraordinary chimpanzee named Sally, who defied all odds by surpassing the typical lifespan of her species. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print is a testament to both the resilience and vulnerability of animals. Sally's remarkable story was featured in The Animal World, a publication produced by W Patridge on behalf of the RSPCA. In this issue from 1891, readers were introduced to Old Sally as she became a symbol of protection for wildlife and aging animals alike. The image portrays Sally with wisdom etched upon her face, having experienced a long and eventful life at London Zoo. Her presence evokes contemplation about mortality and the delicate balance between human intervention and natural longevity within animal populations. As we gaze upon this historic artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that every creature has its own unique journey through life. Old Sally's legacy serves as a reminder to cherish and protect our fellow beings in their wild habitats or under human care. This engraving invites us into a world where several animals coexist with humans while highlighting their significance within our shared ecosystem.
