About this plate

Red Wallaroo (Osphranter antilopinus) is from Kangaroos by John Gould (1841–1842). Today the species is known as the Antilopine Wallaroo. This facsimile is made from the original and printed at the size of the original sheet, 22 × 15 in (56 × 38 cm).

About the original

John Gould (1804-1881) published A Monograph of the Macropodidae, or Family of Kangaroos in 1841 and 1842, after his journey to Australia: 30 hand-coloured lithographs, a step away from his books on birds. Only there, he wrote, surrounded by objects ‘as strange as if I had been transported to another planet’, did he decide to study its mammals.

The plates range from the Great Grey and Great Red Kangaroo to rock wallabies, rat-kangaroos and two tree-kangaroos.
