Engraving on laid paper, plate 18, depicting a lively group of monkeys including the Saki, Pinché, Saimiri, Ouistiti, and Magot, each shown in distinctive, animated poses. The finely engraved figures display remarkable detail and character, with careful attention to fur, movement, and expression. French captions identify each species, reflecting the scientific precision of the period. Published as part of Buffon’s celebrated Histoire Naturelle, this print exemplifies the elegance and clarity of Enlightenment-era natural history illustration. Both informative and decorative, it offers strong visual appeal for collectors of antique prints and works on paper. The sheet shows deckled edges, light age toning, and scattered foxing consistent with age. Overall in good condition. An attractive and engaging example of 18th-century zoological engraving, well suited for framing and display. See less
