EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 12 from Alfred Russel Wallace's seminal work, "The Geographical Distribution of Animals," published in 1876, showcases the diverse and distinctive fauna of the Plains of New South Wales, Australia. This monochrome illustration captures the daytime scene, with several characteristic animals and birds of Australasia prominently displayed. In the foreground, an Emú (Dromaius novaehollandiae) stands tall and alert, its long neck and powerful legs poised for a quick escape if threatened. The Emú, the largest bird in Australia, is a flightless bird that is well-adapted to the open plains and savannas of the region. To the left, a Branch-necked Frogmouth (Menura novaehollandiae), a member of the Caprimulgiformes order, perches on a branch, its large, round eyes and wide-gaping mouth giving it an otherworldly appearance. Frogmouths are excellent camouflage artists, blending in with their surroundings during the daytime, and only revealing themselves when they fly out to catch insects at night. In the background, a Dromaiid, possibly a Lyrebird (Menurus quinquepunctatus), can be seen, with its elaborate fan-like tail feathers spread out. Lyrebirds are famous for their ability to mimic a wide range of sounds, including other birds, animals, and even human noises, making them a popular subject of fascination for naturalists and explorers. Wallace's meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy is evident in this stunning illustration, which remains an invaluable record of the natural history of the Plains of New South Wales during the 19th century.
