EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration by Sarah Stone, an English artist from the late 18th century. Titled "Page 27. Poto Roo or Kangaroo Rat. Now known as a Rufous Rat, kangaroo" this watercolor painting is part of an album featuring Australian fauna. The image depicts a unique creature called the Rufous Rat, which was previously referred to as the Poto Roo or Kangaroo Rat. The artist's attention to detail is evident in her portrayal of this bipedal mammal standing upright with its raised posture and distinctive pouch. Measuring approximately 33.8 x 25.1 cm, this artwork captures the essence of Australian wildlife during that era. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate lines within frame lines measuring roughly 23 x 17 cm showcase Stone's talent for zoological illustration. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and diversity of Australia's natural history through artistry. This painting not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into the fascinating world of rodents and their behavior. Preserved at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this historical masterpiece continues to inspire awe and admiration for both art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
