About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of a Rust-Colored Phalanger and Striped Kangaroo This exquisite 19th-century lithograph showcases two fascinating marsupials native to Australia and surrounding regions. It is part of *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, a significant zoological work featuring finely detailed lithographic depictions of mammals from around the world. The upper figure represents the rust-colored phalanger (Pseudocheirus peregrinus), a possum-like marsupial known for its nocturnal habits and prehensile tail, which it uses for gripping tree branches. Found in eastern Australia and Tasmania, this species primarily feeds on leaves and flowers, playing a crucial role in maintaining forest ecosystems. Below, the striped kangaroo (Macropus dorsalis), also known as the eastern hare-wallaby, is depicted with its characteristic banded markings. This now-extinct marsupial was native to eastern and central Australia, where it inhabited grasslands and woodlands. Unlike larger kangaroos, it was a solitary species, active during the night and known for its swift, agile movements. This print is a valuable historical representation of Australian marsupials, capturing the scientific curiosity of the 19th century. It appeals to collectors of natural history, Australian wildlife, and antique lithographs. Keywords: Australian Marsupials, Striped Kangaroo, Rust-Colored Phalanger, 19th Century Print, Natural History, Scientific Illustration, Rare Lithograph --- Condition Summary: The print remains in excellent condition, with only minor age-related foxing and slight toning along the edges. The fine detailing of the lithograph remains crisp, with delicate shading that enhances the texture of the animals. A faint binding mark is present along the margin but does not detract from the overall presentation. --- Framing Tips: For best preservation, frame this lithograph with an acid-free archival mat in a neutral shade such as ivory or light grey. A dark wooden or black frame will complement the monochrome tones of the print. Use museum-quality UV-protective glass to prevent fading and ensure long-term display quality. This piece pairs well with other marsupial-themed prints for a cohesive natural history collection.
