EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare glimpse into the world of endangered lemurs and loris from 1774. Created by renowned French draftsman and engraver Francois Nicolas Martinet, this engraving captures the essence of these critically endangered species with remarkable detail. The image features three distinct animals - the black-and-white ruffed lemur, Varecia variegata, the mongoose lemur, Eulemur mongoz, and the red slender loris, Loris tardigradus. Each one represents a unique story of survival in an ever-changing natural environment. Through this copperplate engraving by Antonio Baratti after Martinet's original work, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. This piece is part of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert's Encyclopedie: Histoire Naturelle (Encyclopedia: Natural History), published in Livourne in 1774. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures for future generations. The delicate lines and intricate details bring these animals to life on paper, highlighting their beauty while also raising awareness about their vulnerability. This print is not only a testament to Martinet's artistic talent but also an important historical document that contributes to our understanding of early zoology. It stands as a tribute to the power of art and science coming together to shed light on our natural world.
