EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enigmatic Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacinus cynocephalus (Thylacinus harrisii). This extinct marsupial, native to the Australian continent, was the largest carnivorous marsupial in modern history. Its distinctive striped back and rufous-orange coloration are vividly depicted in this beautiful illustration. The Thylacine, a unique predator, possessed a powerful build and a large, elongated head with prominent ears. Its most striking feature, however, were its black stripes, which resembled those of a tiger, earning it the moniker "Tasmanian Tiger." This illustration is taken from René Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Frères in Paris in 1838. The work was a complement to the groundbreaking "Natural History" by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. Primevere's meticulously crafted engravings were renowned for their accuracy and artistic merit, making this a valuable addition to any collection of zoological illustrations. The Thylacine's extinction remains a mystery, with theories suggesting habitat loss, competition with dingoes, and human persecution as potential causes. Despite extensive searches, no definitive evidence of the species has been found in the wild since the late 1930s. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the enigmatic Thylacine, a remarkable marsupial that once roamed the lands Down Under.
