EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of an Australian Pygmy Flying Phalanger. Created by a German School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the enchanting world of this tiny creature. The engraver, Johann Nusbiegel, skillfully captures every delicate feature of the pygmy flying phalanger, also known as a feathertail glider or pygmy gliding possum. With its furry body and large eyes, it exudes both grace and curiosity. This illustration is taken from "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" published by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. Native to Australia, this small mammal belongs to the rodent family and possesses unique abilities for survival. Its ability to glide through the air using flaps of skin between its limbs earned it nicknames such as "flying mouse" or "pygmy glider". The Australian Pygmy Flying Phalanger's presence adds charm and wonder to our natural world. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images' efforts in preserving these historical artworks, we can still appreciate their beauty today. This particular print serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and invites us into an era when scientific exploration was at its peak.
