🦧 Histoire naturelle des singes et des makis Paris, L'an VII (1797). Original source Image description: Illustration from 1797 showing a lemur labeled “Le Vari” or “Lemur macaco.” The lemur is depicted in profile, standing on all fours with a long, thick, black tail raised vertically. Its fur is predominantly white with large black patches on its limbs, back, and face. The head features a pointed snout and round eye, contrasting black and white fur around the neck creating a mane-like appearance. The detailed, naturalistic drawing showcases the lemur’s slender body and distinct coloration, set against a plain, off-white background typical of historical scientific illustrations.
