EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Cibus apella, or Brown Sajou, from Drawing 37, Volume 2," is a beautiful 19th-century drawing by the renowned British artist Alfred Waterhouse. The illustration was created for the ornamentation of the panel over the doorway in the South East gallery, first floor of the Natural History Museum in London, which was completed in 1875. The illustration showcases two exquisitely rendered subjects: the Brown Capuchin Monkey (Cebus apella) and a Citrus fruit, likely a member of the Aurantaceae family, possibly Citrus apella, or Brown Sajou. The monkey, a member of the Cebidae family, is depicted in a lifelike and intricately detailed manner, with its expressive face and dexterous hands. The monkey's scientific name, Cebus apella, translates to 'wisdom monkey of the old world,' reflecting the animal's intelligence and agility. The Citrus fruit, or Brown Sajou, is depicted as a flowering plant, with its vibrant, citrus-colored fruits adorning the branches. The plant is classified as an eudicot, angiosperm, and a member of the Magnoliophyta division. The drawing highlights the close relationship between the monkey and the plant, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the natural world. Alfred Waterhouse's illustration is a testament to the intricacies of the natural world and the artist's ability to capture their essence. The drawing is a stunning example of the ornate and detailed designs that adorned the Natural History Museum during the 19th century, reflecting the fascination and appreciation for the natural world during this period.
