I have 2 rare antique large monkey lithographs for sale. The publisher was Raimondo Petraroja who owned a bookstore and publishing company in Naples. His embossed publisher's stamp can be seen in the last photo.
The lithograph is part of a folio called "History of Man" 1868.
Actual printing was done with stone, a lithography technique invented in the early 1800's and used until replaced by steel later in the 1800's. The prints were handcolored.
The mandrill and baboon are related but have very different lifestyles and habitat.
10 1/2" H
15 1/2" W including margins.
