EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Virginia opossum, Didelphis virginiana, as it was depicted in the esteemed Naturalist's Pocket Magazine published by Harrison in London during the year 1800. The opossum, a fascinating marsupial native to North and Central America, is the only marsupial species found in the United States. The opossum's distinctive appearance is highlighted in this illustration, with its elongated snout, pointed ears, and prehensile tail. The animal is shown in a naturalistic setting, resting on its hind legs with its forepaws tucked under its chest. Its fur, which ranges from grayish-brown to black, is finely detailed in the engraving, as are its sharp teeth and claws. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine was an influential publication in the field of zoology during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular illustration is a testament to the high-quality production values of the magazine, which aimed to provide accurate and detailed records of various species for scientific study and conservation efforts. The opossum plays an essential role in its ecosystem as an omnivore, consuming a diverse diet that includes insects, fruits, and small vertebrates. It is also known for its unique ability to "play dead" when threatened, a behavior that helps it avoid predation. This image of the Virginia opossum offers a glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing creature, as well as the rich tradition of scientific illustration that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world.
