Kangaroo from The Naturalist's Miscellany,a monthly periodical published in London between 1789 and 1813. It focused particularly on newly-discovered species,notably from Australia and the South Pacific. George Shaw (1751-1813) wrote the text (in English and Latin). He was a medical doctor,a Fellow of the Royal Society,co-founder of the Linnean Society and a zoologist at the British Museum. Frederick Polydore Nodder (1770-1800) and later his son Richard Polydore Nodder (1793-1820),engraved the plates. Both received royal patronage for their skill as natural history artists. The plates are copper engravings and exceptionally fine,printed on J Whatman paper with bright original hand colour using a combination of watercolour and layered gouache | |
