EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Yellow-bellied Glider, scientifically known as Petaurus australis, a fascinating arboreal and nocturnal gliding possum native to Australia. The image, taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany" published in 1800, captures the Yellow-bellied Glider's intricate fur pattern and distinctive features. The possum's yellow underbelly, dark back, and long, membranous limbs are clearly visible, along with its bushy tail and pointed snout. The Yellow-bellied Glider is a unique marsupial that is well-adapted for life in the trees. It is able to glide through the air using a membrane that stretches between its limbs, allowing it to cover long distances and navigate the dense forests of its habitat. This nocturnal creature feeds on a variety of fruits, flowers, and insects, and is an important part of the ecosystem in which it lives. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized the work of Shaw and Nodder. Their collaborative efforts, which included the publication of numerous works on natural history, helped to advance the field of zoology and contribute to our understanding of the natural world. This particular image, with its vibrant colors and intricate detail, remains a beautiful and enduring record of the Yellow-bellied Glider and its unique characteristics.
