EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of the Tasmanian Tiger, scientifically known as Thylacinus cynocephalus. The artwork dates back to 1896 and is a true gem from my personal archives. The thylacine, now sadly extinct, was one of the largest carnivorous marsupials ever discovered and first evolved approximately 4 million years ago. The distinctive feature that earned this magnificent creature its nickname is its striped lower back resembling that of a tiger. However, it also bore resemblance to a wolf in certain aspects, hence being alternatively referred to as the Tasmanian Wolf. This particular illustration beautifully captures the essence of this enigmatic animal's appearance. Originally sourced from "Meyers Konversations-Lexikon" this edition holds historical significance and offers a glimpse into our planet's rich biodiversity over a century ago. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world for future generations. Grafissimo has skillfully preserved and reproduced this rare piece with utmost care and attention to detail. Its inclusion in Australian Views collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also raises awareness about species conservation efforts worldwide. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past while striving towards creating a sustainable future for all living beings on Earth.
