EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Black-striped Wallaby (Macropus dorsalis) This hand-colored engraving showcases the Black-striped Wallaby (Macropus dorsalis), a fascinating marsupial native to Australia. The image is an intricate and detailed representation of this unique creature, drawn from life by the skilled hand of Edouard Travies and meticulously engraved by Fournier. The Black-striped Wallaby, also known as the Black-striped Rufous Wallaby or the Black-striped Swamp Wallaby, is a medium-sized marsupial that inhabits the wetter regions of eastern Australia. They are characterized by their striking black and rufous-brown stripes, which provide excellent camouflage in their forested habitats. Marsupials are mammals that carry their young in a pouch, and the Black-striped Wallaby is no exception. The young, called joeys, are born underdeveloped and blind, and they crawl into their mother's pouch, where they continue to develop and grow. The Black-striped Wallaby is an herbivore, feeding primarily on grasses, leaves, and shoots. They are active during the early morning and late afternoon, and they are known to be relatively sedentary, preferring to stay in their home range rather than traveling long distances. This beautiful and historically significant engraving is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849. The work was a comprehensive and influential reference on natural history, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of a wide range of species. The Black-striped Wallaby is an important part of the rich and diverse wildlife of Australia, and this stunning engraving serves as a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world.
