EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, drawn and engraved by Adolph Fries for Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, showcases three distinct species of kangaroos native to Australia: the Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus, 1), the Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus, 2), and the Dusky Wallaby (Thylogale brunii, 3). The Red Kangaroo, also known as the Red Kangaroo of the Mainland, is the largest marsupial species in the world. With its distinctive red fur and powerful hind legs, it is easily recognizable. The Red Kangaroo is a solitary animal and can be found in arid regions of Australia. The Eastern Grey Kangaroo, also known as the Common Grey Kangaroo, is the most widely distributed marsupial species in Australia. It is characterized by its grey fur and long, powerful tail. Eastern Grey Kangaroos are social animals and live in groups called mobs. They are herbivores and primarily feed on grasses and leaves. The Dusky Wallaby, also known as the Woolly Marsupial, is a smaller wallaby species with a dark brown coat and white underbelly. It is native to the eastern and southeastern parts of Australia. Dusky Wallabies are social animals and live in groups called mobs. They are omnivores and feed on leaves, grasses, and occasionally on small animals. This beautiful engraving not only showcases the unique physical characteristics of these marsupials but also captures their essence as iconic Australian wildlife. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these animals to life, making this a valuable addition to any natural history collection.
