EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1841 showcases the iconic Koala, also known as Phascolarctos cinereus. Created by Georges Robert Waterhouse, a renowned curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, this handcoloured steel engraving is a testament to his expertise in capturing the beauty and intricacy of wildlife. The image depicts a Koala perched on a branch, its fluffy fur and round face instantly recognizable. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every strand of fur and delicate feature has been meticulously engraved by Waterhouse. The vibrant colors added by Lizars bring the illustration to life, making it even more enchanting. This print is part of Waterhouse's larger work titled "Marsupialia or Pouched Animals" which was published as Volume XI of the Naturalists Library. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific document that contributes to our understanding of these unique creatures. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are reminded of the rich biodiversity found within Great Britain and its connection to nature across Europe. This engraving not only celebrates British culture but also highlights the importance of zoology and natural sciences in expanding our knowledge about animals worldwide. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork for us to appreciate today. Through their efforts, we can continue to marvel at Waterhouse's talent while gaining insight into one of Australia's most beloved marsupials - the Koala.
