EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving depicts an albino juvenile Moor macaque, Macaca maura (Maimon brachyurus), a primate species native to the Indian subcontinent. The image was meticulously created by Lizars, based on an original illustration by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library, published in Edinburgh in 1836. The Moor macaque, also known as the rhesus macaque or the Old World monkey, is a common and widespread species found throughout South and Southeast Asia. Albino individuals, like the one depicted in this engraving, are relatively rare and exhibit unique features, such as pink eyes and white fur, which sets them apart from their normally colored counterparts. The intricate details of the monkey's features are beautifully rendered in this engraving, from the delicate lines of its fur to the expressive curve of its lips. The background is adorned with lush vegetation and rocks, further emphasizing the natural setting of the subject. This engraving is a testament to the exceptional artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques add depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or zoology prints.
