EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a Rat-kangaroo, an intriguing creature that combines the features of both rats and kangaroos. The print is part of a private collection and was originally published in "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. The artwork, created by the French School, beautifully captures the unique characteristics of this fascinating animal. With its delicate details and vibrant colors, it brings to life the Rat-kangaroo's distinctive appearance. This particular print has been preserved over time and is now available for viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images. The Rat-kangaroo belongs to the Potoroidae family and can be found in Australia. Its name derives from its rat-like body combined with kangaroo-like hind legs, which enable it to hop efficiently through its natural habitat. The illustration also includes references to lice (Phthiraptera), emphasizing their presence on this mammal species. Overall, this enchanting engraving provides us with a glimpse into the world of these lesser-known creatures while showcasing the artistic talent of those who captured them on paper centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich natural history and invites us to appreciate both artistry and scientific curiosity across different eras.
