About this plate

Hare Kangaroo (Lagorchestes leporoïdes) is from Kangaroos by John Gould (1841–1842). Today the species is known as the Eastern Hare-wallaby. 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.
