EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Eastern Quoll or Spotted Opossum, Dasyrus viverrinus, a native marsupial from the island of Tasmania. The illustration was created by renowned English naturalist and illustrator, John Lewin, with the engraving expertly executed by J. Bradley. The image is taken from Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" published by Baron Cuvier in London in 1825. The Eastern Quoll, with its distinctive spotted fur and pointed ears, is a small marsupial, measuring around 30 cm in length. They are omnivorous and agile creatures, known for their ability to climb trees and dig burrows. Once widespread across the Australian mainland, they are now primarily found in Tasmania and some parts of southeastern Australia. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of natural history illustration during the 19th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past and serves as an important record of the Eastern Quoll, a species that continues to captivate and inspire researchers and wildlife enthusiasts today.
