EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Animals and plants of the Australian interior" showcases a vibrant array of wildlife and vegetation found in the heartland of Australia. Created by an anonymous European School artist during the 19th century, this colour lithograph is now part of a private collection. The image presents a visual feast for nature enthusiasts, featuring iconic Australian species such as the Cockatoo, Duck-Billed Platypus, Porcupine Anteater, Lyre Bird, Emu, Kangaroo, Club Tree, and Grass Tree. These diverse creatures and plants were originally illustrated for The Instructive Picture Book's second edition published by Edward Stanford in 1877. With its rich detail and meticulous botanical accuracy, this print offers valuable insights into Australia's unique ecosystem. It transports viewers to an enchanting world where kangaroos bound across vast plains while emus roam freely amidst towering club trees. The distinctive cockatoo perches gracefully on branches adorned with lush foliage as the elusive platypus glides through crystal-clear waters. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper appreciation for Australia's natural history and scientific exploration. This artwork serves as a testament to humanity's curiosity about our planet's wonders and our ongoing quest to understand it better. As we gaze upon this remarkable composition captured by Bridgeman Images' lens from Fine Art Finder archives, we are reminded of the delicate balance between animals and their environment—a reminder that resonates even more profoundly today as we strive to protect these precious ecosystems
