EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1841 showcases the Eastern barred bandicoot, Perameles gunnii, a vulnerable species that holds an important place in natural history. Created by Georges Robert Waterhouse, curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, this handcoloured steel engraving is a testament to his expertise and passion for showcasing wildlife. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to admire the beauty of these unique creatures. The Eastern barred bandicoots are depicted with precision and accuracy, highlighting their distinct features and characteristics. This artwork was originally published as part of Waterhouse's Marsupialia or Pouched Animals series in Volume XI of the Naturalists Library. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the delicate balance between humans and nature. The vulnerability of these bandicoots serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences on the world around us. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving biodiversity and protecting endangered species. Through scientific methods and exploration, zoologists like Waterhouse have contributed immensely to our understanding of wildlife. Their dedication has paved the way for advancements in natural sciences and zoology. This remarkable piece not only celebrates British culture but also represents a broader European contribution to scientific knowledge during the 19th century.
