EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Black Baboon" is a stunning piece of artwork from the 19th century. Created by an unknown German artist and part of a private collection, this print showcases the talent and skill of both the illustrator Hans and engraver Johann Carl Bock. The image is taken from a publication called "Die Säugetiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" (translated as "Mammals in Illustrations According to Nature with Descriptions"), which was published between 1774 and 1855 by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. This comprehensive work aimed to document various animals' natural history through illustrations. In this particular print, we see a majestic black baboon depicted with intricate detail. The artist has captured its features flawlessly, showcasing its expressive face and distinctive fur markings. The monkey's intense gaze seems to draw us into its world, evoking curiosity about these fascinating creatures. The inclusion of scientific names such as Simia sphingiola and Papio ursinus further highlights the attention to detail given by both the illustrator and engraver. This print serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an educational tool for those interested in studying natural history. Preserved over centuries, this engraving now resides under the care of Purix Verlag Volker Christen. Its availability allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also the artistry involved in capturing it on paper.
