EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving by Chevillet, after an illustration by Jacques de Seve, showcases the African macaque species, specifically the subspecies Cercopithecus angolensis major. The image is taken from Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon's renowned natural history work, "Histoire Naturelle, Imprimerie Royale, Paris, 1766." The African macaque, also known as the blue monkey or Angolan monkey, is native to central and western Africa. This subspecies, C. angolensis major, is found in the forests of Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The African macaque is a medium-sized primate, with a body length of around 40 cm and a weight of up to 8 kg. They are characterized by their blue-grey fur, long tails, and distinctive facial features, including a flat nose and a white beard. This engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the African macaque, showcasing its physical features and expressive facial expressions. The intricate details of the fur texture, muscle definition, and posture are all captured with remarkable precision. The image also conveys a sense of the macaque's agility and grace, as it perches on a tree branch with ease. Buffon's "Histoire Naturelle" was a groundbreaking work in the field of natural history, and this engraving is a testament to the meticulous research and attention to detail that went into its creation. The work was produced during the Age of Enlightenment, a time when there was a renewed interest in the natural world and a desire to understand the interconnectedness of all living things. This African macaque engraving is a valuable historical record of a species that continues to fascinate and intrigue scientists and nature lovers alike.
