EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromo print from the late 19th or early 20th century depicts Georges-Louis Leclerc, Count of Buffon, with his tame chimpanzee named Joco. Buffon, a renowned French naturalist, mistakenly classified Joco as an orangutan, but the animal played a crucial role in shaping Buffon's theories on the relationship between humans and primates.
Joco served as a faithful companion to Buffon and allowed him to observe and study primate behavior up close. The chimpanzee's presence in Buffon's life not only provided valuable insights for his scientific work but also added an element of curiosity and wonder to his daily routine.
Today, Joco is immortalized through taxidermy at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, preserving his legacy as a key figure in the history of primate research. This chromo print captures a moment frozen in time - showcasing the bond between man and animal that transcends species boundaries.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the interconnectedness of all living beings on Earth and the importance of understanding and respecting our fellow creatures. Georges-Louis Leclerc may have been known for his groundbreaking scientific contributions, but it is his unique relationship with Joco that truly stands out in this enchanting portrait.
