EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Strange monkeys of the new continent" takes us on a journey to the 19th century, showcasing a collection of unique and fascinating primates. The print, part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" offers an intriguing glimpse into the diverse world of these enigmatic creatures. The image features several monkey species, each with its own distinctive characteristics. From left to right, we encounter the Mikiri or Muriki, known for its striking appearance; the Beelzebuth or Marimonda with its white forehead; and the Cayou, all representing different types of monkeys found in this new continent. Among them are notable species such as Brachyteles macrotarsus, Ateles arachnoides, Brachyteles arachnoides, Ateles beelzebuth, and Ateles ater. These names evoke curiosity about their habitats and behaviors. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. The intricate patterns on their fur and expressive eyes bring these creatures to life within the confines of paper. As we observe this artwork from a private collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of nature's boundless wonders but also our responsibility to protect and preserve it. This print serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for those captivated by wildlife artistry throughout history.
