EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by Baron after an original illustration by Jacques de Seve, showcases the captivating Guinea baboon (Papio papio), also known as the Copper-tailed baboon or Petit papion. The image is taken from Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon's renowned natural history publication, "Histoire Naturelle, Imprimerie Royale, Paris, 1766." The Guinea baboon is native to West and Central Africa and is the most widely distributed baboon species. They are social primates, living in troops of up to 150 individuals, and are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, seeds, and insects. Their coat is primarily grey, with a copper-colored base on their tail, ears, and rump. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized Buffon's work. The image captures the Guinea baboon's expressive face, with its prominent forehead, small ears, and large, round eyes. The baboon's posture is natural and relaxed, conveying a sense of curiosity and intelligence. The Guinea baboon holds a significant place in natural history, as one of the earliest primates to be studied and documented in detail. This engraving is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the scientific exploration of the natural world during the 18th century.
