EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Bush-tailed, Sajou, or Weeper Capuchin Monkey (Cebus olivaceus), a captivating primate native to Central and South America. The monkey's name derives from its distinctive sad expression and bushy tail, which is often held in a curled position. The Bush-tailed Capuchin, also known as the White-faced Capuchin or the Olive Capuchin, is a member of the Capuchin monkey family (Cebidae), specifically the genus Cebus. These agile and intelligent monkeys are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers, insects, and small vertebrates. They are also known for their dexterity and ability to use tools, such as using sticks to extract insects from tree bark. This illustration, published in The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, is a testament to the natural history fascination of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The magazine, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802, aimed to provide its readers with accurate and detailed information about the natural world. This particular engraving, featuring the Bush-tailed Capuchin Monkey, is a beautiful example of the high-quality illustrations produced during this period. The Bush-tailed Capuchin Monkey continues to be a popular subject in scientific research and conservation efforts due to its unique characteristics and importance in its native habitats. Today, this species is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), but threats such as habitat loss and hunting for the pet trade remain concerns.
