EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "White-eared opossum, Didelphis albiventris. 1841" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases the remarkable work of Georges Robert Waterhouse. The print features two species of marsupials, the White-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) and Azara's opossum (Didelphys azarae), beautifully handcolored with intricate details. Waterhouse, a curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, was renowned for his contributions to natural history. His illustrations were highly regarded for their scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. In this particular piece from his book "Marsupialia or Pouched Animals" he captures the essence of these unique creatures in stunning detail. The White-eared opossum stands out with its distinct white ears against a backdrop showcasing several other wildlife animals. This engraving not only serves as an exquisite example of scientific illustration but also provides insight into the diverse fauna found in Great Britain during that era. Bridgeman Images brings this historical artwork to life through Fine Art Finder, allowing viewers to appreciate Waterhouse's talent and dedication to capturing nature's wonders on paper. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an age when exploration and discovery fueled our curiosity about the natural world around us.
