About the Item
Title: Antique Primate Engraving of a Sapajou Atèle Hybride and Macaque Domestique - 19th Century
Description:
This exquisite antique print captures two fascinating primate species, titled "Sapajou Atèle Hybride" and "Macaque Domestique," hand-colored in meticulous detail. Published in the 19th century, this engraving is a product of the golden era of scientific exploration and natural history documentation, when European naturalists sought to catalog the biodiversity of the world.
The illustration portrays a hybrid atèle sapajou (a type of spider monkey) perched gracefully on a green branch, its long limbs and expressive features capturing the lively character of this arboreal primate. Below it, a domestic macaque stands confidently, displaying the curious nature and muscular build typical of macaques. A detailed profile sketch of the sapajou’s head (marked ‘a’) adds a further layer of scientific observation, reflecting the rigorous taxonomic interest of the period.
Here’s the English translation for the two primates depicted in the engraving:
1. Sapajou Atèle Hybride
In English, this roughly translates to “Hybrid Spider Monkey.” The term “Sapajou” was an older French term for spider monkeys in general (genus *Ateles*). “Hybride” indicates that this particular illustration likely represented a hybrid form, perhaps a specimen that combined features from different spider monkey species.
2. Macaque Domestique
This translates to “Domestic Macaque” in English. It’s likely referring to a macaque species that was commonly found in human settlements, either as a semi-domesticated pet or in close contact with people.
These hand-colored engravings were created for natural history volumes that combined aesthetic appeal with educational purpose. The soft hues of the monkeys’ fur, from earthy browns to gentle golds, have been carefully applied to bring these animals to life, while the expert linework preserves anatomical accuracy and elegance.
Collectors of natural history prints, animal art enthusiasts, and interior designers seeking a touch of antique sophistication will find this print especially engaging. Its harmonious blend of art and science speaks to an era of discovery, curiosity, and a profound appreciation for the natural world.
Condition report:
This print is in very good antique condition, with minor age-related toning and a few gentle spots of foxing that add to its authentic character without detracting from the overall beauty.
Framing tips:
To highlight the warm natural hues of this print, use a cream or soft beige mat and a classic wooden frame in walnut or oak. This complements the earthy tones of the monkeys’ fur while preserving the refined antique aesthetic.
