EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 217 from Chapter 7 of Gleanings of Natural History, Volume 5, published between 1758 and 1764, presents a captivating illustration of the Black Lemur, or Eulemur macaco, also known as the Black Maucauco (Figure 1). This engraving, produced during the 18th century, offers a detailed and intriguing portrayal of this fascinating primate, which was a subject of great interest to naturalists of the time. The Black Lemur is depicted in this illustration as a solitary figure, standing outside its natural habitat, holding a fruit in its hand. The animal's dark fur, which distinguishes it from other lemur species, is rendered with remarkable accuracy and detail. Its long, bushy tail, curled around its body, adds to its striking appearance. The Black Lemur is a member of the Lemuridae family, which is part of the larger order of Primates, specifically the Eutheria, Epitheria, Mammalia, Lemuriformes, and Lemuroidea. This primate is native to Madagascar and is known to inhabit various forested areas, including rainforests and dry deciduous forests. The Black Lemur's inclusion in George Edwards' Gleanings of Natural History reflects the growing interest in the natural world during the 18th century. Edwards, a prominent English naturalist, produced this work to document and preserve the knowledge of various species, many of which were newly discovered during this period. This engraving, along with the accompanying descriptive text, would have provided valuable information to naturalists, collectors, and scholars of the time. Today, the Black Lemur remains an important subject of study for primatologists and conservationists, as its population is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. This historic illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
