The Kangaroo - A Glimpse into 19th Century Cycling and Natural History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "The Kangaroo" by the English School from the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this artwork was originally featured in Travel, An Illustrated Monthly Magazine edited by H. S. Lunn between May 1897 and April 1898. The engraving takes us back to a time when bicycles were gaining popularity as a means of transportation and sport. In this black-and-white illustration, we see a female cyclist gracefully riding her bike while surrounded by the enchanting wildlife of Australia. The kangaroo, a marsupial native to the continent, stands prominently beside her. Beyond its artistic appeal, this print offers insights into both natural history and human evolution during that era. It serves as a testament to our fascination with animals and their place in our world. With meticulous detail captured through engraving techniques, this historical piece transports us back to early 19th-century life—a time when two-wheeled vehicles like bicycles were revolutionizing transportation and leisure activities for people across various social classes. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let it remind us of how far we have come in terms of technology and our understanding of nature's wonders.
