John Gould's Mammals of Australia (1845–63)
The southern hairy-nosed wombat is one of three surviving species of wombats. 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.
