Kangaroos
By John Gould, 1804-1881
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.
