EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a vibrant and intriguing assembly of native flora and fauna from Tasmania, Australia, as illustrated by the talented Louisa Anne Meredith in her book "Tasmanian Friends and Foes, Feathered, Furred and Finned," published in London in 1881 by Marcus Ward. The image showcases a stunning array of native plants, including the Native Fuchsia or Correa speciosa, with its bell-shaped blue and red blooms, the Native Lilac or Tetratheca glandulosa, boasting clusters of white and pink flowers, and the Native Pepper or Tasmannia aromatica, bearing small red berries. Surrounding these botanical wonders are various native creatures, adding to the richness of the scene. A Green Mantis or Mantis religiosa var. keeps a watchful eye, its camouflaged body blending seamlessly with the foliage. A female Tasmanian Thornbill or Drymophila cyanocarpa perches on a branch, her blue-grey plumage contrasting against the lush greenery. Butterflies, such as the Tortoiseshell or Apatura metis, and the Brassolis or Common Blue, flit among the flowers, while a Brown Moth or Aristotelia peduncularis rests on a leaf. The artist, Louisa Anne Meredith, was an accomplished woman of science and art, with a keen interest in ichthyology, botany, and entomology. Her meticulous illustrations not only captured the beauty of Tasmanian nature but also contributed significantly to the scientific record of the region's diverse flora and fauna. This image is a testament to her remarkable talent and dedication.
