EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Middle-sized Black Monkey or Langur (Cercopithecus maurus), a primate native to Africa. The intricately detailed illustration, taken from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species. The Middle-sized Black Monkey, also known as the Dent's mona monkey, is a medium-sized Old World monkey with a glossy black coat. The monkey's face is characterized by a white forehead, a white ring around its eyes, and a pink nose. Its hands and feet are also white, providing a striking contrast to its dark fur. The Middle-sized Black Monkey is native to central and eastern Africa, inhabiting forests, savannas, and woodlands. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, buds, flowers, and insects. These social animals live in groups of up to 20 individuals, with a dominant male leading the group. The engraving, created during the late 18th century, is a testament to the meticulous work of natural history illustrators of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Middle-sized Black Monkey to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and unique features. This historical illustration not only serves as a reminder of the natural history of the Middle-sized Black Monkey but also as a window into the past, showcasing the artistry and dedication of naturalists and illustrators during the era of discovery and exploration.
