EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and diversity of Australian marsupials. At the bottom, we have the majestic Red kangaroo, scientifically known as Macropus rufus. With its striking red fur and powerful build, this iconic species represents strength and resilience in the vast Australian outback. Moving to the top right corner, we encounter the Eastern grey kangaroo, or Macropus giganteus. This graceful creature stands tall with its soft grey coat blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Known for their incredible agility and boundless energy, these kangaroos symbolize freedom and adaptability. Finally, in the top left corner rests a charming Dusky wallaby named Thylogale brunii. With its small size and endearing features, this adorable marsupial adds a touch of sweetness to this composition. Found mainly in dense forests and coastal areas of Australia, they are masters at navigating through thick vegetation. The artist behind this masterpiece is Adolph Fries who skillfully recreated an illustration by Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville from his renowned work "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle". The hand-colored steel engraving was printed by F. Chardon under Achille Comte's Musee d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris during 1854. This print serves as a reminder of Australia's rich biodiversity while highlighting the importance of preserving these unique species for future generations to admire and cherish.
