EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Y for Yarque (monkey from French Guiana), 1850" showcases the intricate details of a macaque monkey. Created by Louis Simon Lassalle, also known as Cabaillot-Lassalle, this artwork measures 18x12 cm and is part of a private collection. The engraving was featured in "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" an educational book written by Mrs. Louise Leneveux under her nickname Marie-Louise Pignot. Published in Paris in 1850 by Mrs Veuve Louis Janet, the book contains 142 pages with illustrations drawn by Lassalle and numerous vignettes on wood. Lassalle's skillful craftsmanship brings the monkey to life on paper, capturing its essence with remarkable precision. The detailed lines showcase the texture of its fur and the expressive nature of its face. This piece serves not only as an aesthetic delight but also as an educational tool for young readers learning about animals. With its historical significance and contribution to natural history studies, this engraving holds value within both artistic and scientific realms. It represents a time when zoology played a crucial role in expanding our knowledge of animal species. As we admire this print today, it reminds us of how art can bridge gaps between education and aesthetics while preserving important aspects of our natural world.
