EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph from the 19th century showcases the adorable Koala, scientifically known as Phascolarctos cinereus. Measuring at an impressive 54.5x37.4 cm, this print is part of a private collection and captures the essence of this beloved Australian marsupial. The artwork was created by the English School in the mid-19th century and published in London between 1845 and 1863 as part of John Gould's renowned book "The Mammals of Australia". The collaboration between Gould and Henry Constantine Richter resulted in this exquisite depiction of a Koala, showcasing their attention to detail and artistic skill. In this particular image, we see a close-up view of the Koala looking away with its fluffy brown fur beautifully hand-coloured. The elevated perspective allows us to appreciate its cute posture while sitting outdoors in a rural setting. The artist's European background adds an interesting dimension to this piece, highlighting cross-cultural influences on wildlife illustration during that time period. The intricate details captured through lithography bring out the unique expression on the Koala's face, further enhancing its charm. Whether you are an animal lover or art enthusiast, this hand-coloured lithograph offers a delightful glimpse into nature's wonders while celebrating both scientific accuracy and artistic creativity.
