EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1841 showcases the Brush-tailed rock-wallaby, also known as the small-eared rock-wallaby or Petrogale penicillata. Created by Georges Robert Waterhouse, a renowned curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, this handcoloured steel engraving is a testament to his expertise in capturing the beauty of wildlife. The image depicts a group of Brush-tailed rock-wallabies in their natural habitat, showcasing their unique features and graceful movements. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print transports viewers back to the early 19th century when scientific exploration and discovery were at their peak. Waterhouse's illustration was featured in Volume XI of the Naturalists Library titled "Marsupialia or Pouched Animals". The engraving was meticulously crafted by Lizars after Waterhouse's original artwork. This collaboration between two talented individuals resulted in an exquisite representation of these fascinating creatures. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of our rich natural history but also of the importance of scientific research and conservation efforts. The Brush-tailed rock-wallaby serves as a reminder that every species plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable resource for those interested in zoology and natural sciences.
