EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the unique and enigmatic Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), a remarkable creature native to eastern Australia and Tasmania. Discovered in 1798, the platypus defied scientific understanding due to its unusual combination of characteristics, appearing to be a cross between a mammal and a bird. The platypus is actually a monotreme, an ancient group of mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. The platypus in this illustration is depicted with its distinctive features: a flat, broad, duck-like bill, webbed feet, and a fur-covered body. The red platypus (Ornithorhynchus rufus), now considered a subspecies, is shown in this print with a reddish-brown coat, contrasting with the typical dark-brown coloration of the platypus. This image was created by Harriet or Edward Griffith, skilled engravers, for Baron Georges Cuvier's groundbreaking work, "The Animal Kingdom" (1825). Cuvier, a renowned French naturalist, was a pioneer in comparative anatomy, and this work was a significant contribution to the field of natural history and zoology. The intricate details of the platypus's anatomy, accurately captured in this engraving, furthered scientific understanding of this extraordinary animal.
