EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Fair Monkey, scientifically known as Mico argentatus, also referred to as the Silvery Marmoset or Red-faced Marmoset. The monkey's silvery fur contrasts strikingly with its bright red face and ears, making for a striking visual display. This illustration is taken from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802. The Fair Monkey is a New World primate native to Central and South America. They are social animals, living in groups of up to 20 individuals, and are known for their agility and dexterity, which allows them to move easily through the dense forests of their habitat. Their diet consists mainly of insects, fruits, and nectar. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Fair Monkey during the late 18th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors showcase the meticulous craftsmanship of the engraver, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art. The Fair Monkey continues to be a popular subject in scientific and artistic circles, and this illustration remains an important historical record of this intriguing primate species.
