EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816, showcases two fascinating and elusive Australian marsupials: the Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus, and the Water Opossum, Chironectes minimus. The Eastern Quoll, with its distinctive spotted fur and pointed snout, is a small carnivorous marsupial native to eastern Australia and Tasmania. The Water Opossum, also known as the Water Dasyurus, is a semi-aquatic marsupial, with webbed feet and a water-repellent coat, allowing it to thrive in wet environments. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The engraving was expertly executed by Madame Massard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The image captures both animals in their natural habitats, with the Eastern Quoll shown on land, and the Water Opossum in water. The intricate stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of tiny dots to create shading and texture, brings the animals to life, highlighting their unique physical characteristics and the delicate details of their fur. This historical image is a valuable resource for zoologists, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural world, providing a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating creatures and the artistic techniques used to document them over 200 years ago.
