EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "A Lemur" is a remarkable piece of natural history artistry. Created by Jean Baptiste Audebert in the late 18th century, this print showcases the intricate details and vibrant colours that bring this exotic creature to life. The lemur, known as Le Mococo or Buff, takes center stage against a pristine white background. Its striped pattern adds an element of elegance and uniqueness to its appearance. With its tail gracefully curled around itself, the lemur exudes a sense of curiosity and playfulness. Hand-tinted with meticulous precision, every stroke of colour enhances the realism and beauty of this magnificent mammal. The artist's skillful use of earthy tones brings out the texture and depth in both the animal's fur and surrounding vegetation. Displayed in full length with a side view perspective, we are able to appreciate every aspect of this enchanting creature. The lemur delicately holds a carrot in its hands while standing on lush ground adorned with various vegetables. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as an invaluable record of early scientific exploration into natural history. It is part of Audebert's renowned book "Histoire Naturelle des Singes et des Makis" published during 1798-99. With its timeless charm and artistic excellence, "A Lemur" continues to captivate viewers today as it did over two centuries ago when it was first created by Jean Baptiste Audebert.
