1. Title: "The Striated Monkey, or Bewick's Ouistiti of Brazil: A Historical Portrayal" This evocative image captures the essence of the Striated Monkey, also known as Bewick's Ouistiti (Simia iacchus), as it was depicted in the late 18th century by naturalists Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon and Thomas Bewick. Buffon, a renowned French naturalist, referred to this primate as the "OUISTITI" in his influential work "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière" (Natural History, General and Particular). The Striated Monkey, native to Brazil, is a versatile and omnivorous creature. It is often found in forests and woodlands, where it feeds on a diverse diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, insects, and snails. The monkey's fondness for fish is also noteworthy, adding to its intriguing character. Buffon's detailed description of the Striated Monkey in his "Histoire Naturelle" was based on observations and accounts from various explorers and naturalists of the time. This print, produced around 1790, is a visual representation of Buffon's work and the knowledge of the Striated Monkey that was available during this historical period. The Striated Monkey, with its distinctive striped face and agile form, is a captivating subject that continues to intrigue and fascinate us. This image serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating creature and the scientific inquiry that shaped our understanding of the natural world. Mary Evans Picture Library's collection is a treasure trove of historical images, and this print is a testament to the rich and diverse knowledge that was being documented and shared during the late 18th century. The Striated Monkey, as depicted in this print, stands as a symbol of the curiosity, exploration, and discovery that characterized the scientific pursuits of the time.
