The first published image of the koala appeared in George Perry’s (1810) natural history work Arcana.[109] Perry called it the “New Holland Sloth” on account of its perceived similarities to the Central and South American tree-living mammals of genus Bradypus. His disdain for the koala, evident in his description of the animal, was typical of the prevailing early 19th-century British attitude about the primitiveness and oddity of Australian fauna:[110]

"… the eye is placed like that of the Sloth, very close to the mouth and nose, which gives it a clumsy awkward appearance, and void of elegance in the combination … they have little either in their character or appearance to interest the Naturalist or Philosopher. As Nature however provides nothing in vain, we may suppose that even these torpid, senseless creatures are wisely intended to fill up one of the great links of the chain of animated nature …".[111]

Bou Jeloud; the Father of Skins, the Father of Fear

"Hamri, the painter, went up the mountain to the village of Jajouka because he had family there. Hamri took Brion Gysin up the mountain and Gysin wrote about it in The Process. Gysin took William Burroughs up the mountain, and Burroughs described it The Ticket That Exploded. Brian Jones heard Gysin’s tapes of the Master Musicians of Jajouka and went up the mountain with a Uher and a recording engineer. He heard half the music and made a tape that is now a record; but that isn’t half the story.”

Jajouka/Up the Mountain by Bob Palmer, Rolling Stone (1971): 1, 2, 3
