EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1841 showcases the Long-footed potoroo, also known as Potorous longipes. Classified as a vulnerable species, this marsupial is depicted in intricate detail by artist Georges Robert Waterhouse. The print is part of a private collection and was featured in Waterhouse's renowned work "Marsupialia or Pouched Animals" which forms Volume XI of the Naturalists Library. The hand-colored steel engraving, skillfully executed by Lizars after Waterhouse's illustration, captures the essence of this unique creature. Its elongated feet are prominently displayed, giving it its distinctive name. With its rat-like tail and endearing features, the Long-footed potoroo stands out among other wildlife animals. Waterhouse himself was curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum during his lifetime. His dedication to capturing nature through art shines through in this piece. The attention to detail and scientific accuracy make it an invaluable resource for those interested in natural history and zoology. As we admire this engraving today, we are transported back to the early 19th century when scientific exploration and discovery were at their peak. This print serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect vulnerable species like the Long-footed potoroo for future generations to appreciate their beauty and significance within our ecosystem.
