EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 4 from Histoire Naturelle des Singes et des Makis (Natural History of Monkeys and Lemurs) by Jean-Baptiste Audebert, published in 1808, features an exquisite illustration of a Lemur catta, commonly known as a ring-tailed lemur. This plate is a testament to the natural history exploration and documentation of the 18th century. The ring-tailed lemur is a primate native to Madagascar, belonging to the Lemuridae family, which is part of the larger superorder Lemuriformes. This primate is a placental mammal, meaning it develops inside the mother's womb before birth, and is classified under the order Primates, the group that includes monkeys, apes, and lemurs. The ring-tailed lemur is easily recognizable by its distinctive, long, black and white ringed tail, which can measure up to 60 cm in length. They are diurnal animals, meaning they are active during the day, and their diet consists mainly of leaves, fruits, and insects. This stunning illustration showcases the intricate details of the ring-tailed lemur's physical features, from its expressive face and pointed ears to its long, slender limbs and bushy tail. The artist's skillful use of shading and texture adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. Jean-Baptiste Audebert was a renowned naturalist and artist of the late 18th century. His work, Histoire Naturelle des Singes et des Makis, was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of primates during that time, featuring detailed illustrations of various species. This plate, in particular, is a valuable contribution to the scientific community, providing a detailed and accurate record of the ring-tailed lemur for future generations to study and appreciate. In conclusion, Plate 4 from Histoire Naturelle des Singes et des Makis by Jean-Baptiste Audebert is a beautiful and informative piece of natural history, showcasing the intricacies of the ring-tailed lemur, a fascinating primate native to Madagascar.
