EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Grivet Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops): A 18th Century Zoological Illustration" This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a Grivet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops), a primate species native to Central and West Africa. The image is based on an original illustration by Jacques de Seve and meticulously engraved by Jakob Andreas Eisenmann for Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature," published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1775. The Grivet monkey, also known as the Green monkey or the Vernet's monkey, is a medium-sized Old World monkey with a slender build and a distinctive greenish-gray coat. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, flowers, and insects. The species is characterized by their pointed snout, bushy tail, and a white ring around their eyes. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving are a testament to the advanced techniques employed during the 18th century in the field of zoological illustration. The artist and engraver have captured the essence of the Grivet monkey's appearance and expressions, providing an accurate representation of the species for scientific study and appreciation. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Grivet monkey during a time when exploration and documentation of the natural world were at the forefront of scientific discovery. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving serve as a reminder of the rich history of zoological illustration and its role in advancing our understanding of the natural world.
