Description

Ape women: Fossey and three prominent colleagues sign a limited edition poster

American ethologist (1932–1985) who earned worldwide renown for her intimate studies of gorillas in the mountain forests of Rwanda. She was murdered under still-uncertain circumstances likely related to her uneasy relationship with Rwandan locals who saw her as a threat to the gorilla-related tourist and exportation industry. Limited edition color poster for a 1981 panel discussion titled “Man & Ape: Pathways in the Search for Man” at CalTech, 15.5 x 19.75, #83/100, signed in ink by Fossey and her three co-participants: Jane Goodall, Birute Galdikas, and Donald C. Johanson. Framed to an overall size of 16.5 x 20.5. Some very faint and unobtrusive marginal spotting, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
