EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Malbrouck, the Agile Malgasy Lemur" This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by Lempereur after an illustration by Jacques de Seve, presents a captivating portrait of a female Malbrouck, scientifically known as Chlorocebus cynosuros. This primate, native to Madagascar, is depicted in its natural habitat, showcasing its agility and grace. The Malbrouck, a type of lemur, is named after the French military leader, Marshal Malbrouck, due to its distinctive resemblance to the marshal's helmet. This monkey is characterized by its long, bushy tail, which is used for balance and communication. Its coat is a mix of gray, brown, and white fur, providing excellent camouflage in its forested environment. This engraving is an excerpt from the extensive and influential work, "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière" (Natural History, General and Particular), authored by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. Published between 1749 and 1804, this encyclopedic work covered a wide range of natural history subjects, including botany, zoology, and geology. The publication of "Histoire Naturelle" marked a significant milestone in the history of science, as it was one of the most comprehensive works on natural history at the time. The meticulous attention to detail in this copperplate engraving highlights the advanced techniques and expertise of the time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacies of the natural world. This image of the Malbrouck serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural history of Madagascar and the broader world.
