EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century illustration, Plate 217 from George Edwards' "Gleanings of Natural History," showcases the Black Macaque monkey in intricate detail. Edwards, a renowned English naturalist and illustrator, meticulously captured the unique features of this primate species in this engraving, which was printed at the Royal College of Physicians in London in 1758. The Black Macaque, also known as the Black Snub-nosed Monkey, is native to Southeast Asia and is easily identified by its dark fur and distinctive snub nose. In this illustration, the monkey is depicted in a naturalistic setting, perched on a tree branch with its tail curled around a branch for balance. The attention to detail in the monkey's fur texture, facial expression, and posture is truly remarkable, making this print a valuable addition to any natural history collection. Edwards' "Gleanings of Natural History" was a groundbreaking work in the field of natural history, featuring over 200 plates that showcased a wide range of animals, birds, insects, and plants. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the scientific community and helped advance the understanding of the natural world during the Enlightenment era. This Black Macaque monkey print, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is a testament to the importance of natural history in the 18th century and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and beautiful composition.
