Le Sajou Brun, Male: An Exquisite Lithograph Illustration from the Historic 'Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères' by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Cuvier This stunning lithograph print, titled 'Le Sajou Brun, Male' (Plate 30, 170), is an exquisite illustration from the renowned 'Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères' (Natural History of Mammals) by Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Baron Georges L.C.F. Dagobert Cuvier. Published between 1819 and 1842, this comprehensive work was a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of mammals during the 18th and 19th centuries. The image depicts a male Sajou Brun, an arboreal mammal, perched on a branch with a fruit in hand. The intricate detail of the drawing reveals the animal's anatomy, with its muscular structure and skeletal system clearly visible. The Sajou Brun, a member of the Epitheria order, is classified as a Haplorhini, a suborder of primates that includes mammals with a single nostril and no tail. The illustration showcases the animal's head in profile, revealing its distinctive features, including its large, expressive eyes and pointed snout. The Sajou Brun's fur is depicted as a rich, dark brown color, earning it the common name 'Brun.' The image also includes a detailed drawing of the animal's teeth, which are prominent and sharp, reflecting its omnivorous diet. The Sajou Brun is shown in a naturalistic setting, eating fruit, further emphasizing its role as a vital part of its ecosystem. The illustration's intricate detail and lifelike quality are a testament to the skill and expertise of the artists and scientists involved in the creation of this historic work. This beautiful lithograph print is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history illustrations, offering a glimpse into the scientific discoveries and advancements of the past while also highlighting the enduring beauty and diversity of the natural world.
