EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of a Common marmoset, scientifically known as Callithrix jacchus. Also referred to as Ouistiti or striated monkey, this enchanting creature is depicted in intricate detail and vibrant colors that bring it to life on paper. The artwork was created by J. Pass, who skillfully reproduced an original illustration by George Edwards from Ebenezer Sibly's renowned work, Universal System of Natural History. Published in London in 1796, this masterpiece has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. Every aspect of this print exudes elegance and precision. The delicate lines etched onto the copperplate reveal the fine features of the marmoset's face – its expressive eyes filled with curiosity and intelligence. The artist's meticulous attention to detail extends even to the texture of its fur, which appears soft and velvety under careful examination. Jean Baptiste Audebert's expertise shines through in his choice of colors for handcolouring this engraving. Each stroke adds depth and dimensionality to every element within the composition – from the lush foliage surrounding our primate friend to its own distinctive coat pattern. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when scientific exploration merged seamlessly with artistic expression. This print serves as a testament not only to nature's wonders but also humanity's enduring fascination with them.
