EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the recent additions to the Zoological Society's Collection at Regent's Park in London, dating back to 1864. The image showcases a Brazilian monkey known as Pithecia Satanas, hailing from the lush banks of the Amazon. These specimens were part of a group of animals imported from various parts of the American continent, adding to the society's diverse collection of living creatures.
The engraving provides a glimpse into a bygone era when scientific institutions like zoos served as educational hubs for studying wildlife from around the world. With over 1700 individuals representing different species, this collection was truly a treasure trove for researchers and animal enthusiasts alike.
The intricate details captured in this print highlight not only the beauty of these exotic creatures but also their importance in expanding our understanding of biodiversity. From prehensile tails to curious expressions, each monkey depicted here tells its own unique story about life in captivity within London Zoo during the 19th century.
As we marvel at this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by those who dedicated themselves to preserving and studying nature's wonders for generations to come.
