About the Item

Original Antique Print of Five Monkeys and Tamarins by Bertuch, 1802 Original antique hand-colored copper engraving depicting five species of monkeys and tamarins, published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s celebrated “Bilderbuch für Kinder” in Weimar in 1802. The plate is titled “Vierf. Thiere LXVI / Quadrupèdes LXVI” and presents five individually numbered primates. Bertuch identifies the animals in the accompanying text as the Atys, Yarqus, Ascagne, Brown Tamarin and Black Tamarin. The five animals are depicted in characteristic poses, including two small tamarins perched on branches and three larger monkeys seated below. The delicate engraving and attractive original hand coloring are typical of the natural-history illustrations produced for Bertuch’s ambitious educational encyclopedia. The plate bears the engraved signature “J. H. Schmuzer” at the bottom. Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) was a German publisher, writer and patron of the arts. He is best known for his monumental “Bilderbuch für Kinder” (Picture Book for Children), one of the great illustrated educational encyclopedias of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Published in Weimar from 1790 onward, the work contained hundreds of finely engraved and hand-colored plates covering natural history, geography, science, technology, costumes and mythology. An attractive early zoological print and an appealing decorative work for collectors of natural history, monkeys and early scientific illustration.
