About the Item

Antique Engraving of a Red Howler Monkey (Simia Seniculus Linn.), drawn by De Sève, engraved by Bock, circa 1800 This fine zoological engraving depicts the Red Howler Monkey (Simia Seniculus Linn.), drawn by Jacques de Sève and engraved by Bock around 1800. The print reflects the elegant natural history style of the late 18th century, combining artistic sophistication with scientific accuracy. The monkey stands gracefully on a rocky outcrop, its long tail coiling upward in a balanced, sculptural pose. De Sève’s drawing captures the animal’s distinctive features—the elongated limbs, dense fur, and expressive eyes—while Bock’s meticulous engraving renders these details with remarkable precision. The naturalistic shading and fine stipple technique lend depth and realism to the composition, creating a vivid representation of this South American species. The Red Howler Monkey (Simia Seniculus), described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae, is native to the tropical forests of South America. Known for its deep, resonant call that can be heard for miles, it fascinated early European naturalists who documented the exotic fauna of the New World. This engraving, part of a larger body of zoological works inspired by Buffon’s Histoire Naturelle, exemplifies Enlightenment Europe’s dedication to cataloguing and understanding nature through both observation and art. Jacques de Sève, one of Buffon’s most accomplished illustrators, was celebrated for his ability to imbue scientific subjects with elegance and poise. His collaboration with engravers such as Bock produced plates of enduring beauty, valued equally by scientists and collectors for their clarity, composition, and artistry.
