Therefore I thought it worth while to try to assemble these literary and artistic data, for the reference of orientalists, zoologists, and animal lovers in general." (preface). Van Gulik was a passionate fan of the gibbon, he studied their behaviour and several specimens were allowed into his circle of intimate friends.
