Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph of Exotic Marsupials: Koala, Wombat & Phalanger Description: This finely detailed 19th-century lithograph showcases a collection of marsupial species, including a flying phalanger, a grey koala, and a wombat. The engraving is part of an extensive zoological series that aimed to document and illustrate rare and exotic mammals from around the world. The print is attributed to the work of celebrated natural history illustrators of the period, executed with precision and artistry to capture the distinctive characteristics of these fascinating creatures. The lithograph was produced using high-quality techniques that reflect the scientific enthusiasm of the 19th century, a period when European explorers and naturalists were bringing back discoveries from distant lands, including Australia. The artwork highlights the squirrel-like flying phalanger, gliding with its extended patagium, the grey koala, shown clinging to a eucalyptus branch, and the wombat, depicted on the ground with its characteristic sturdy build. Each animal is meticulously rendered, emphasizing their fur textures and natural postures, making it not only a valuable scientific document but also a beautiful decorative piece. This print is an exceptional example of natural history illustration, making it ideal for collectors of zoological engravings, museum-quality art enthusiasts, or those with an interest in Australian wildlife.
