About the Item

Set of eight antique prints: Title: 'The Gorilla - The Bald Chimpanzee - White Crowned Mangabey - St. John's Macaque - The Siamang Gibbon - The Orang-Utan - The Proboscis Monkey - The Talapoin' Medium: Chromolithograph Origin: From 'Lloyd's Natural History', authored by Edward Lloyd Publication Dates: 1894-1897 Description: This exquisite collection of eight prints showcases various monkey species, each rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The chromolithographic technique used in these prints highlights the unique physical characteristics and vibrant colors of each species. The Gorilla print captures the commanding presence and muscular build of this great ape. The Bald Chimpanzee is depicted with its distinctive hairless face and intelligent gaze. The White Crowned Mangabey features its striking white fur tuft and expressive face. St. John's Macaque is illustrated with its notable fur pattern and curious demeanor. The Siamang Gibbon print emphasizes the gibbon's long limbs and agile form. The Orang-Utan is portrayed in its characteristic reddish-brown fur, showcasing its thoughtful expression. The Proboscis Monkey stands out with its large, distinctive nose and the Talapoin is depicted with its small size and lively features. These prints are a testament to the diversity and beauty of the primate world, and reflect the scientific and artistic standards of the late 19th century.
