EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor study depicts the skull and lower jaws of a Macropus robustus, also known as the Euro wallaroo or hill wallaroo, a large macropodid marsupial native to Australia. The intricately detailed drawing was created by the renowned English artist Nathaniel Dance (1735-1811) during the late 18th century. Dance was a skilled draftsman and naturalist, who accompanied Captain James Cook's voyages of discovery between 1743 and 1775. During Cook's second voyage, the expedition visited the eastern coast of Australia, and Dance took the opportunity to document the unique flora and fauna of the land. This drawing is believed to have been created during this time, as the Euro wallaroo is native to the eastern parts of the continent. The Euro wallaroo is a member of the Diprotodontia family, which includes kangaroos, wallabies, and their relatives. It is commonly found in open woodlands and grasslands, and is characterized by its robust build and powerful hind legs. The Euro wallaroo is also known for its distinctive, elongated snout, which is evident in the detailed skull depicted in the drawing. This historical artwork not only showcases the natural history of the Euro wallaroo but also provides a glimpse into the exploratory spirit of the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the drawing is a testament to Dance's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The drawing also serves as a reminder of the significant role that exploration and discovery played in expanding our understanding of the natural world during this period.
