EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a pivotal moment in history - the first depiction of a kangaroo by Captain Cook's expedition to Australia in 1770. The image showcases the curious and unique appearance of this fascinating animal, which was previously unknown to the Western world.
The kangaroo, described as an animal found on the coast of New Holland (now known as Australia), is depicted with intricate detail and precision. It is clear that Joseph Banks, the botanist aboard Cook's ship, took great care in documenting this new discovery for future generations to study and admire.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back in time to a period of exploration and discovery. The sense of wonder and excitement felt by Cook and his crew as they encountered these strange creatures for the first time is palpable through this artwork.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the importance of scientific exploration and cultural exchange. The legacy of Cook's expedition lives on through images like these, preserving moments of discovery that continue to inspire curiosity and fascination about our natural world.
