EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by the skilled artist Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrari's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," showcases an intriguing assemblage of African wildlife. The image features four distinct species indigenous to the African continent: the vulnerable Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana, depicted in the foreground with a diadem of leaves), the Mona monkey (Cercopithecus mona, seen in the background, with a distinctive 'smile'), an Ostrich (Struthio camelus, towering in the middle ground), and a Pink-backed Pelican (Pelecanus rufescens, wading in the water at the bottom). The Diana monkey, also known as the black-and-white colobus, is a primate species found in the forests of Central and East Africa. With a population decline of over 50% in the past 25 years, this species is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and fragmentation. The Mona monkey, native to West Africa, is known for its unique facial expression and is a crucial component of the forest ecosystem. The Ostrich, the world's largest flightless bird, is native to Africa and is well-adapted to the savannas and deserts. The Pink-backed Pelican, found in various wetlands across Africa, is a large water bird with distinctive pink feathers on its back. This beautiful and intricate engraving offers a glimpse into the diverse and captivating wildlife of Africa, highlighting the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
