EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 72 of the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, presents a captivating illustration of a monkey species native to Asia. Dated between 1774 and 1856, this meticulously crafted watercolor drawing showcases the intricate details of the monkey's anatomy and distinctive features. John Reeves, a British surgeon and naturalist, compiled this extensive collection during his tenure as a surgeon in Canton, China. Reeves had a profound interest in the natural world and documented various Asian mammals, including primates, as part of his extensive research. The monkey depicted in this drawing is a member of the Simiiformes order, which includes simians and other primates. This primate is classified as a placental mammal, belonging to the Haplorhini suborder, Therian superorder, Eutheria infrorder, and the Primates order. Its scientific name is not explicitly stated in the plate, but its tailed and simian characteristics suggest it might be a Macaque or a Langur. The monkey's expressive face and alert posture convey a sense of curiosity and intelligence, making it a compelling subject for Reeves' illustration. The watercolor technique employed in this drawing highlights the monkey's textured fur, intricate facial features, and the delicate details of its ears and hands. This stunning illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of Asian primates during the 19th century, providing valuable insights into the rich biodiversity of the region. The John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, remains an essential resource for researchers and enthusiasts of natural history and Asian wildlife.
