EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of wood engravings from 1897, featuring the fascinating monotremes: the echidna and platypus. The first engraving depicts the short-beaked echidna, known scientifically as Tachyglossus aculeatus or Echidna hystrix. Its spiky exterior is beautifully captured, showcasing its unique appearance. Moving on to the second engraving, we are presented with an intimate view of a female short-beaked echidna's underside, revealing her breast pouch. This remarkable adaptation allows these extraordinary creatures to nurture their young in a manner similar to marsupials. The third engraving takes us even deeper into the anatomy of this incredible creature. It unveils the inside of the abdominal wall of a short-beaked echidna, displaying both its breast pouch and mammary glands. This intricate illustration provides valuable insight into their reproductive biology. Lastly, we encounter an enchanting depiction of another iconic monotreme - the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus or Ornithorhynchus paradoxus). Set against a cross-section view of its den in the background, this wood engraving captures both its distinctive features and habitat. These historical wood engravings offer viewers a glimpse into our understanding of monotremes over a century ago. They serve as reminders that these peculiar creatures have long fascinated scientists and artists alike with their unique characteristics and evolutionary adaptations.
