EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Tiger quoll, Dasyurus maculatus. 1841" takes us back to the 19th century and introduces us to the mesmerizing world of wildlife. Created by Georges Robert Waterhouse, a renowned zoologist and curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, this print showcases the beauty of a Tiger quoll. Also known as spotted-tail quolls or spotted dasyures, these fascinating creatures are depicted with intricate detail in this handcoloured steel engraving. The artist captures their distinctive markings and features flawlessly, allowing us to appreciate their unique charm. The Tiger quoll is native to Australia and is characterized by its striking coat pattern adorned with spots. This particular artwork was featured in Waterhouse's book "Marsupialia or Pouched Animals" which was part of his larger project called the Naturalists Library. As we gaze upon this historic piece, we are reminded of the importance of scientific exploration and documentation in understanding our natural world. Through engravings like this one, scientists were able to share their discoveries with a wider audience and inspire curiosity about different species. This print serves as a testament not only to Waterhouse's artistic talent but also his dedication to advancing knowledge in zoology. It stands as a reminder that art can be both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically informative—a true treasure for any admirer of nature's wonders.
