EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 4. Hepoona Roo" by Sarah Stone takes us back to the late 18th century, offering a glimpse into the rich natural history of Australia. The image showcases an exquisite watercolor illustration of a Greater glider possum, known as Hepoona Roo at that time. Sarah Stone's attention to detail and artistic skill is evident in this zoological illustration. The brown-toned painting depicts the outstretched marsupial with precision, capturing its unique features and nocturnal nature. The possum's long tail gracefully extends across the frame lines, adding to its allure. Part of an album containing 31 original watercolors of Australian fauna from around 1790, this artwork provides valuable insight into early explorations and scientific discoveries in Australia. Preserved at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, it serves as a testament to our fascination with wildlife throughout history. The dimensions of this particular print measure approximately 33.8 x 25.1 cm for the sheet size, while the drawing itself fits within frame lines measuring roughly 23 x 17 cm – similar to plate sizes used for engravings during that era. Bridgeman Images has brought forth this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions but rather as a celebration of Sarah Stone's contribution to both art and natural history documentation during her lifetime (1760-1844).
