About the Item
The image features three different mammal species:
1. **Sciurus aureventer** - This is likely an old taxonomic name, and the animal depicted resembles a squirrel, recognizable by its bushy tail and alert posture. The term "aureventer" suggests a golden or yellowish belly.
2. **Capromys poeyi** - Also known as the Cuban hutia, a rodent native to Cuba. It's larger than a typical squirrel, with a robust body, short legs, and a less bushy tail. Hutias are known for their strong teeth and jaws, which are adapted to their herbivorous diet.
3. **Georychus lemmus** - This could be a mislabeling, as "Georychus" is a genus that includes the Cape mole-rat, and "lemmus" is often associated with lemmings. The animal depicted here looks similar to a mole-rat or lemming, both of which are small, burrowing rodents.
The print is a hand-colored engraving, typical of the mid-19th century. The coloration is carefully applied to highlight features such as the fur's texture and color patterns. These prints were vital educational tools for natural history studies before the widespread use of color photography.

Rare 19th-Century Lithograph of Exotic Marsupials: Koala, Wombat
Phalanger
Located in Langweer, NL
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.
