EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving by Georges Robert Waterhouse showcases the Long-nosed potoroo, Potorous tridactylus tridactylus, along with two other fascinating marsupials. The print is part of Waterhouse's renowned work "Marsupialia or Pouched Animals" which was published in Volume XI of the Naturalists Library in 1841. In this handcoloured steel engraving, we see the Long-nosed potoroo alongside a Brush-tailed hypsiprymnus and a Tufted-tailed rat-kangaroo. These unique creatures are beautifully depicted with intricate details that highlight their distinctive features and characteristics. Waterhouse, who served as curator at the Zoological Society of London's museum, was not only an accomplished zoologist but also a talented illustrator. His illustrations were highly regarded for their scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. The composition of this print captures the essence of wildlife animals in their natural habitat. It offers viewers a glimpse into the diverse fauna found within Great Britain during the 19th century. This engraving serves as both an educational tool for studying these remarkable creatures and a testament to Waterhouse's contribution to natural history. Displayed here is just one example from Bridgeman Images' extensive collection of fine art prints. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this artwork is sure to captivate anyone with an interest in zoology or appreciating nature through art.
