This engraving features detailed illustrations of various primate species positioned within a network of tree branches. Depending on the exact text imprint layout, plates of this series were published in:
The 3rd Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1797) was printed in Edinburgh, where Andrew Bell was the primary engraver.
William Winterbotham's historical work (1795), specifically An Historical, Geographical, Commercial, and Philosophical View of the American United States, which included detailed plates of American quadrupeds, reptiles, and monkeys.
First published in London in 1795, this four-volume historical survey is highly famous among collectors because Winterbotham (an English Baptist minister and political radical) compiled and edited the entire text while serving a four-year sentence in Newgate Prison for sedition.
