EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1841 showcases the Tammar wallaby, also known as Macropus eugenii. Created by Georges Robert Waterhouse, a renowned curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, this print is part of his Marsupialia or Pouched Animals series. The Tammar wallaby depicted in this artwork belongs to the species Macropus eugenii or Notamacropus eugenii and is commonly referred to as Lord Derby's kangaroo. The hand-colored steel engraving was skillfully executed by Lizars after an illustration by Waterhouse himself. Displayed against a backdrop of lush vegetation, this image captures the essence of wildlife in its natural habitat. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these fascinating creatures to life on paper. Waterhouse's work exemplifies the scientific approach prevalent during that era. His contributions to zoology and natural history are evident through his meticulous attention to detail and accurate portrayal of these marsupials. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into early scientific methods used in studying animals. It stands as a testament to the rich heritage of British culture and European scientific exploration during the 19th century. Bridgeman Images has preserved this valuable artwork from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance within the field of zoology.
