EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Frederic Cuvier's "Dictionary of Natural Science: Mammals," published in Paris, France, in 1816, showcases two fascinating and distinctly Australian mammals: the Long-footed Potoroo, Potorous longipes, and the Common Wombat, Vombatus ursinus. The Long-footed Potoroo, an endangered species native to southeastern Australia, is depicted on the left side of the illustration. As its name suggests, this small, nocturnal marsupial is characterized by its unusually long hind limbs, which are adapted for jumping and digging. With its long, pointed snout and bushy tail, the Long-footed Potoroo is an agile and elusive creature that primarily feeds on roots, tubers, and insects. On the right side of the engraving, the Common Wombat, a large, burrowing marsupial, is depicted in its natural habitat. This robust and powerful animal is the largest of the wombat species and is native to Tasmania and mainland Australia. With its powerful limbs, sharp claws, and strong sense of smell, the Common Wombat is well-equipped for digging extensive burrow systems, which can extend up to 20 meters in length. This stunning illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, who was a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became an artist at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was expertly executed by Miss Coignet, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this historical artwork continue to captivate viewers and provide valuable insights into the natural history of these fascinating Australian mammals.
