EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Diana Monkey or Diana Guenon, scientifically known as Cercopithecus diana. The image is based on an illustration by Jacques de Seve and was engraved by Johann Sebastian Leitner for Johann Christian Daniel Schreber's "Animal Illustrations after Nature," published in Erlangen, Germany, in 1775. The Diana Monkey is a primate from the Old World monkey family, Cercopithecidae, and is native to Central and West Africa. With its expressive face, pointed snout, and bushy tail, this agile and arboreal creature is a captivating subject. The Diana Monkey is currently listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Their population is estimated to be decreasing due to habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting for bushmeat, and capture for the pet trade. The Diana Monkey plays an essential role in its ecosystem as a seed disperser and contributes to the maintenance of forest health. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the natural history artistry of the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Diana Monkey to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique features and the importance of its conservation.
