EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1860 showcases the unique and fascinating Duck-billed Platypus. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this colourful lithograph is part of a private collection. The image was originally featured in "The Instructive Picture Book" which aimed to educate readers about the geographical distribution of animals and the natural history of quadrupeds found across different parts of the world. The Duck-billed Platypus, scientifically known as Ornithorhynchus paradoxus or Ornithorhynchus anatinus, is a mammal native to Australia. Its distinctive appearance combines features from various animal groups, making it truly one-of-a-kind. With its duck-like bill and webbed feet, this creature defies categorization. This illustration offers viewers a glimpse into the intricate details that make up this extraordinary species. From its sleek fur to its beady eyes and paddle-shaped tail, every aspect is meticulously captured in vivid colours through lithography. As we admire this remarkable print today, we can appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance as a testament to early scientific exploration and documentation. Through images like these, we gain insight into our planet's rich biodiversity and marvel at nature's endless wonders.
