EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an enchanting assembly of primates. The illustration includes six distinct species: Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus, 1 & 2), King Colobus (Colobus polykomos, 3), Brown-mantled Tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis, 4), Red-handed Howler (Alouatta belzebul, 5), Purple-faced Langur (Trachypithecus vetulus, 6), and the endangered status of these remarkable creatures is denoted by the number 6. The Proboscis monkey, with its distinctive long nose, is depicted in the foreground, while the regal King Colobus, known for its blue-black fur and long tail, stands proudly behind. The Brown-mantled Tamarin, with its small size and agile dexterity, is shown perched on a branch, while the Red-handed Howler, with its powerful build and distinctive red hands and face, is shown in a more relaxed posture. The Purple-faced Langur, with its vibrant coloration and expressive face, completes the scene. This historical illustration not only provides a glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring and engraving techniques showcases the artistic skill and dedication of the time. This image continues to inspire awe and appreciation for the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it.
