From a German reproduction of Edwards's work. See title page at http://dfg-viewer.de/v2/?set[image]=2&set[zoom]=default&set[debug]=0&set[double]=0&set[mets]=http%3A%2F%2Fdigi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de%2Fdiglit%2Fseligmann1764bd6%2Fmets Heirs of Johann Michael Seeligmann (eds.). 1764. Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel, worinnen ein jeder derselben nicht nur auf das genaueste beschrieben, sondern auch in einer richtigen und sauber illuminierten Abbildung vorgestellet wird. Volume 6. Nuremberg, Holy Roman Empire: Johann Joseph Fleischmann. Online at http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/seligmann1764bd6 Uploaded from: http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/seligmann1764bd6/0082?sid=83535aea6e58dab18431548b6366ef09 Another version is available at http://www.georgeglazer.com/archives/prints/animals/seliglemur.html; it is too small for the accompanying text to be legible but appears to credit "J. S. Leitzner" as well as Edwards. The species is captioned as "Lemur catta Linn." (indicating it is probably later in date) and the number is given as XLI (41), not 92 as in the version shown here. |
