Description :

This is a vintage book image from the 1800s. We believe it is from "Natural History of Monkeys" by William Lazar (1788-1859), published in Edinburgh in 1833. The illustration is of Pithecus Satanus (Pithecis Satanas)  - the black bearded saki monkey - enjoying a snack. Love the detail - the bony fingers and rat-like feet are terrific! Great detail typical of etched bookplates of the period. Some yellowing along edges due to age, but a terrific anthropomorphic character study! Grained wood frame.

Measures shy 11" H x shy 9" W x .75' D framed.
