EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration titled "Eastern Grey Kangaroo, 1860 (colour litho)" by the German School from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was published in Leopold Joseph Fitzinger's "A Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Säugetiere in ihren sämtlichen Hauptformen" in 1860. The image features two remarkable Australian creatures: the Eastern Grey Kangaroo and the common wombat. The artist beautifully captures their unique characteristics and brings them to life through intricate details and vibrant colors. The Eastern Grey Kangaroo, scientifically known as Macropus giganteus, stands tall with its muscular body and distinctive grey fur. Its powerful hind legs suggest agility and gracefulness as it leaps across its natural habitat. Beside this magnificent kangaroo stands a charming representation of the common wombat or Phascolomys wombat. This small marsupial exhibits a sturdy build with short legs, making it perfectly adapted for digging burrows. Through this illustration, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration merged with artistic expression to document Earth's diverse wildlife. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for nature enthusiasts today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now appreciate this timeless masterpiece that celebrates these fascinating mammals from down under.
