EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Macropus giganteus, or Kangaroo of New Holland, with Xanthorrhoea s, a Gum-plant," is a stunning 18th-century drawing by the renowned English naturalist and artist, George Raper. Dated 1789, this exquisite work of art is part of the Jackson Collection, which showcases the natural wonders of the Australian continent that were just beginning to be explored and documented during this period. The illustration features the majestic Eastern Gray Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), the largest living marsupial species, standing gracefully amidst a grove of Xanthorrhoea s, commonly known as grass trees or gum-plants. The kangaroo's powerful hind legs are poised for a leap, while its long, muscular tail provides balance and support. The Eastern Gray Kangaroo is a herbivore, feeding primarily on grasses, leaves, and flowers, making the presence of the Xanthorrhoea s an appropriate backdrop. The Xanthorrhoea s, an angiosperm belonging to the family Dianellaceae and the order Asparagales, is a distinctive flowering plant native to Australia. Its tall, grass-like leaves form a rosette at the base, with a central stem topped by a spike of yellow or green flowers. These plants are often referred to as 'grasstrees' or 'gum-trees' due to their hard, resinous sap, which was used by the Aboriginal people for various purposes. Raper's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the Australian landscape and its unique inhabitants make this illustration a valuable historical document and an enduring work of art. The Eastern Gray Kangaroo and Xanthorrhoea s are symbolic of the rich biodiversity that exists in the Australasian region, a testament to the natural wonders that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
