EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A New Discovery - The Kangaroo, as Drawn by Thomas Bewick in 1790" This print, created by the renowned English natural history illustrator Thomas Bewick in 1790, showcases the striking features of a recently discovered native Australian creature: the Kangaroo. At the time, Sir Joseph Banks, a prominent British naturalist and explorer, had only recently identified this unique marsupial during his expeditions to New Holland (now known as Australia). The image of the Kangaroo, with its powerful hind legs and long, muscular tail, was a testament to Bewick's exceptional skill as an artist. The intricate details of the Kangaroo's fur, ears, and paws are rendered with remarkable accuracy, making this print an invaluable contribution to the scientific community. Bewick's depiction of the Kangaroo marked a significant moment in the history of natural history illustration. The discovery of this new species, combined with Bewick's meticulous attention to detail, helped to expand the collective knowledge of the natural world during the late 18th century. The print's historical significance is further emphasized by the fact that it was produced during a time when European explorers were making groundbreaking discoveries in far-off lands. Sir Joseph Banks' expeditions to New Holland, which began in 1770, yielded a wealth of new information about the natural world, including the identification of numerous plant and animal species that were previously unknown to Europeans. Thomas Bewick's "A New Discovery - The Kangaroo" stands as a testament to the spirit of exploration and scientific inquiry that characterized the late 18th century. This print continues to captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the ongoing quest to understand the natural world.
