19th-Century Lithograph of a Spotted Phalanger and Woolly Kangaroo from Australia
Description: This stunning 19th-century lithograph presents two fascinating marsupials native to Australia and surrounding regions. It originates from *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, a series of zoological illustrations documenting mammals in remarkable detail.
The first species, the spotted phalanger (Spilocuscus maculatus), is a type of cuscus found in New Guinea and parts of northern Australia. This nocturnal, tree-dwelling marsupial is recognized for its soft, woolly fur and distinctive spotted pattern, which provides natural camouflage in dense foliage. Known for its slow movements and strong prehensile tail, it primarily feeds on leaves, fruits, and flowers.
The second species, the woolly kangaroo, is depicted with a strong yet elegant form, highlighting the anatomical accuracy of early scientific illustrations. Likely representing a forest-dwelling wallaby or a variant of the eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), this marsupial is known for its thick fur, which protects it from cooler environments. Kangaroos are famous for their powerful hind legs and large tails, used for balance and support.
This lithograph is an exquisite example of early natural history prints, capturing the curiosity and meticulous study of exotic wildlife. It is a valuable addition to collections focusing on Australian fauna, marsupials, or antique zoological prints.

Framing Tips:
For optimal display, frame this lithograph with a dark wood or gold-gilded frame to contrast the delicate shading. Use an acid-free archival mat in ivory or light beige to enhance the print’s natural warmth. Museum-grade UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading and preserve its historical integrity. Placing this print alongside other marsupial illustrations will create a striking natural history-themed gallery.
