EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by P.F. Tardieu after an illustration by Jacques de Seve, depicts a fascinating encounter between a Crab-eating Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) and an Egret in the lush, natural surroundings of the Orient. The image is taken from the renowned "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière" (Natural History, General and Particular) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, published by the Imprimerie Royale in Paris in 1766. The Crab-eating Macaque, also known as the long-tailed macaque or the aigrette macaque, is a primate native to South and Southeast Asia. This agile and intelligent species is often found near water sources, where they feed on a diverse diet, including crabs, fruits, and leaves. In this illustration, the macaque is shown deftly using a stone as a tool to crack open a crab, showcasing their remarkable problem-solving abilities. The Egret, a graceful and elegant bird, is a common sight in the same wetland habitats as the Crab-eating Macaque. In this image, the Egret stands still and alert, watching the macaque intently as it works on its meal. The intricate details of both the macaque and the egret, as well as the lush vegetation and the rippling water, are beautifully rendered in this exquisite copperplate engraving. This image not only showcases the natural history of these two fascinating species but also highlights the exceptional artistic skill of Jacques de Seve and P.F. Tardieu. The intricacy and detail of the engraving are a testament to the high-quality production of the "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière," which was one of the most comprehensive and accurate works on natural history of its time.
