EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty and mystery of the Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger. Once native to Tasmania, Australia, this unique marsupial is now sadly extinct. The intricate details in this illustration from Rene Primevere Lesson's Complements de Buffon showcase the Thylacine's distinctive features, from its striped coat to its pointed ears.
The Thylacine was a fascinating creature with a wolf-like appearance but carried its young in a pouch like a kangaroo. Its extinction serves as a stark reminder of the impact humans can have on wildlife and the importance of conservation efforts.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the fragility of life and our responsibility to protect endangered species. The delicate handcolouring brings out the richness of detail in this engraving, making it truly come alive before our eyes.
Let us cherish this image as a tribute to the once majestic Thylacine and strive towards preserving our planet's biodiversity for future generations to appreciate and admire. May it serve as a poignant reminder that every species has value and deserves our respect and protection.
