EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of marsupials, offering us a glimpse into the diverse world of these unique creatures. The print, titled "Marsupials" is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned Picture Book for Children between 1790 and 1830. The artwork presents an array of fascinating marsupials, each meticulously depicted with vibrant colours and intricate details. Among them are the Virginia opossum, known for its distinctive appearance; the grey brushtail possum or fuchskusu; the spotted quoll; the long-tailed kangaroo-like creature; and Kangurus minor, resembling a rat-like kangaroo. These enchanting mammals come to life on paper through this masterful engraving. The German School artist behind this creation skillfully captures not only their physical characteristics but also their essence as remarkable beings within nature's tapestry. From their pouches to their distinct features, every aspect is portrayed with precision and artistry. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the beauty of these marsupials and the artistic talent that brought them to life centuries ago. This image serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and invites us to marvel at its wonders.
