The monkeys are derived from illustrations from Alexander von Humboldt. One is probably a Humboldt's woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha). The red howler monkey is Alouatta seniculus. Series edited by Giulio Ferrario. The title page identifies the illustrator as Giuseppe Erba Odescalchi.Image placed horizontally on page.
