EDITORS COMMENTS
Les kanguroos (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century Australia, showcasing the diverse wildlife and rural landscapes that define this continent. Created by an unknown French artist, this engraving was originally featured in La Chasse Illustree, a publication dedicated to hunting. The image transports us to the vast Australian countryside, with its lush green pastures stretching as far as the eye can see. It is here that we encounter a group of kangaroos, iconic marsupials known for their unique hopping gait. Among them is also a wombat, another native Australian animal. This print not only celebrates Australia's rich biodiversity but also sheds light on the practice of hunting during that era. State-sanctioned hunts were popular bloodsports at the time, and this illustration offers a glimpse into those activities. The influence of France on Australia is evident through this artwork – from its depiction in La Chasse Illustree to being part of a private collection today. It serves as a reminder of the historical ties between these two countries and their shared love for exploration and discovery. With its intricate details and black-and-white aesthetic, this engraving stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical document. Through it, we are transported back in time to experience early 19th-century Australia's wild beauty.
