Painting Description
"Brown Sajou Monkey, male, engraved by C. de Last, plate 30 (170) from Vol 1 of 'The Natural History of Mammals'" is a notable illustration from the early 19th century, featured in the seminal work on mammalian zoology by French naturalists Georges Cuvier and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Published in 1824 by Werner as part of the first volume of "The Natural History of Mammals" (Histoire naturelle des mammifères), this engraving is an important historical artifact that reflects the scientific and artistic endeavors of the period.
The illustration depicts a Brown Sajou Monkey (also known as the Common Squirrel Monkey, Saimiri sciureus), a species native to the tropical forests of South America. The meticulous work of C. de Last, the engraver, captures the intricate details and physical characteristics of the male monkey, contributing to the scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal of the plate.
As part of Cuvier and Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire's comprehensive study, the illustration served both as a scientific representation for scholarly study and as a means to introduce a wider audience to the diversity of the animal kingdom. The collaboration between the naturalists and the artist highlights the interdisciplinary approach of the time, combining scientific research with visual artistry to enhance the understanding of mammalian species.
The publication of "The Natural History of Mammals" was a landmark event in the field of zoology, and the inclusion of detailed engravings such as "Brown Sajou Monkey, male" played a significant role in disseminating knowledge about mammals. The work of Cuvier and Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire laid the groundwork for future zoological studies and taxonomy, and their illustrated volumes remain a valuable resource for historians of science and art alike.
