The image captures the meticulous detail and artistry of Kenelm Henry Digby's work as he accurately depicts this remarkable creature. Displayed within a manuscript filled with drawings and descriptions of various animals, this particular illustration stands out for its lifelike portrayal. The white-faced ape, also known as the Barbary macaque or Macaca sylvanus, is depicted in full length, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique features and simian grace. The handwritten label adds an authentic touch to this zoological illustration, reminding us that it was meticulously crafted during a time when scientific exploration flourished.
