EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the Bare-tailed Woolly Opossum, a fascinating marsupial species. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of natural history illustration. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this unique creature to life on paper. The illustrator, Johann Eberhard Ihle, skillfully captures the essence of the opossum's appearance and character. Meanwhile, Johann Nusbiegel's expert engraving techniques add depth and texture to every stroke. Originally published in "A Die Säugetiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" between 1774-1855 by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber, this artwork has stood the test of time as an important contribution to scientific knowledge. Also known as Didelphys philander or Caluromys philander, this particular opossum species is recognized for its bare tail and distinctive white ears. Its presence within nature's tapestry highlights both its importance within ecosystems and its aesthetic appeal. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen for making this historical gem available for public enjoyment today. This enchanting illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also reminds us of our rich natural heritage that deserves preservation for future generations to appreciate.
