EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Eastern Ring-tailed Possum, Pseudocheirus peregrinus (Phalangista cookii), a fascinating marsupial native to Australia. The intricate detailing of the engraving highlights the possum's distinctive features, including its long, ringed tail, which is used for balance and communication. The Eastern Ring-tailed Possum is a small arboreal marsupial, with a body length of around 30 cm and a tail length of up to 50 cm. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruit, but will also consume insects and small vertebrates. The engraving is taken from René Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Frères in Paris in 1838. Buffon's "Natural History" was a groundbreaking work in the field of zoology, and the "Lessons Complements" served as an illustrated companion to the text. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous workmanship of the time, and provides a valuable record of the natural history of the Eastern Ring-tailed Possum. The Eastern Ring-tailed Possum is an important species in Australian ecosystems, and plays a role in seed dispersal and pollination. They are also of cultural significance to the Indigenous peoples of Australia, who have traditionally hunted and eaten them. Unfortunately, they have faced threats from habitat loss, fragmentation, and predation by introduced species, and are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
