Capuchin Monkeys - Macaque and Patas monkey / Authentic Steel engraving and hand-colored Vignettes de Buffon 1839

This authentic 1839 steel engraving from the Vignettes de Buffon collection features hand-colored illustrations of capuchin, macaque, and patas monkeys—a genuine antique page sized 5 x 7 inches, sourced directly from the original collectible set rather than reproduction. The delicate hand-coloring and fine engraving detail capture the naturalistic study style characteristic of 19th-century scientific illustration, while age-appropriate marks and patina add to its historical authenticity. It arrives unframed with protective tissue, suitable for collectors of natural history art and antique prints.
