EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving by P.F. Tardieu, based on an illustration by Jacques de Seve, showcases the Barbary macaque or magot, Macaca sylvanus, an endangered primate native to the northwestern coast of Africa. The Barbary macaque is the only Old World monkey species naturally occurring outside Africa, inhabiting the rocky cliffs and forests of the Mediterranean region. The Barbary macaque is depicted here in its natural habitat, with its distinctive dark fur, long tail, and expressive face. This engraving is taken from Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, published in Paris by the Imprimerie Royale in 1766. Buffon's Natural History was a groundbreaking work, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of various species from around the world. The Barbary macaque population has faced numerous threats, including habitat loss, hunting, and fragmentation. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the species is currently classified as endangered, with an estimated population of around 8,000 individuals. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this important primate, including habitat restoration, anti-poaching patrols, and public education campaigns. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique species that inhabit it. The Barbary macaque is not only an intriguing and fascinating creature, but also an essential part of the biodiversity of the Mediterranean region. Let us continue to appreciate and protect these remarkable animals for future generations to enjoy.
