1. Title: "Greater Spot-nosed Monkey: A 18th Century Zoological Discovery" This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Greater Spot-nosed Monkey, scientifically known as Cercopithecus nictitans or Simia nictitans. The monkey's intriguing appearance is beautifully captured in this exquisite artwork, produced by the skilled hand of Johann Nussbiegel in 1775. The Greater Spot-nosed Monkey, also known as the Putty-nosed Monkey, is a primate native to West and Central Africa. This Old World monkey is characterized by its distinctive features, including a large, fleshy nose pad and a white patch of fur on its face, which resembles a spot. These physical traits serve as important identification markers, helping to distinguish this species from others. The engraving, part of Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature," offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century. Schreber's work was significant in its time, as it aimed to provide accurate and detailed representations of various animal species, contributing to the advancement of zoological knowledge. The Greater Spot-nosed Monkey, with its expressive eyes and engaging posture, invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of zoological illustration and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations. As we admire the intricate details of this engraving, we are reminded of the rich history of scientific discovery and the ongoing quest to understand the myriad creatures that inhabit our planet. This Greater Spot-nosed Monkey, with its captivating features and unique identity, continues to intrigue and inspire us today.
