John Gould's Mammals of Australia (1845–63)
The brush-tailed rock wallabies' most notable feature, as their name implies, is the distinctively bushy tail. They are medium-sized wallabies with the adults ranging from six to eight kilograms.
In 1838, the English ornithologist John Gould set sail for Australia with his wife, the artist Elizabeth Gould. The gorgeous lithographs included in The Mammals of Australia were made by H. C. Richter, based on drawings done by both Elizabeth and John during their time on the continent. These indelible images of the platypus, the sugar glider, and the Tasmanian tiger, among others introduced countless nineteenth-century readers to the existence of these extraordinary creatures.
