1. Title: "Gray Langur or Hanuman Langur (Semnopithecus entellus): A Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving from Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History" This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Gray Langur or Hanuman Langur (Semnopithecus entellus), a primate species native to the Indian subcontinent. The image, created by Jean Baptiste Audebert and engraved by J. Pass, is taken from Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History," published in London in 1804. The Gray Langur, also known as the Dufresne's Monkey or Simia entellus, is a prominent figure in Hindu mythology, where it is revered as the divine monkey-god Hanuman. With its distinctive features, including a long, bushy tail, a greyish-brown coat, and a red face, this primate is a captivating subject for natural history illustrations. The intricate details of the Gray Langur's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this engraving, from the delicate fur texture to the expressive features of its face. The artist's skillful use of colour adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a remarkable piece of historical natural history art. The Gray Langur is an important species within its ecosystem, playing a role in seed dispersal and contributing to the overall health and balance of its forest habitat. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of this primate but also highlights the importance of preserving its habitat and ensuring its continued survival. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is a valuable historical record of the Gray Langur, offering a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species and the artistic techniques of the past. It remains an essential resource for researchers, conservationists, and anyone interested in the natural world.
