EDITORS COMMENTS
The Discovery of the Kangaroo" is a whimsical and amusing depiction of an extraordinary encounter between explorers and a peculiar animal. This vibrant colour lithograph, created by John Hassall in 1904, captures the essence of discovery and wonderment. In this comical scene, we find ourselves transported to the zoological gardens where English sailors are encountering a kangaroo for the very first time. The expressions on their faces range from astonishment to amusement as they try to comprehend this strange creature before them. The kangaroo itself appears equally bewildered, adding to the overall charm of the image. Hassall's illustration was originally intended for "The Zoo" a book written by Walter Emanuel. It beautifully encapsulates both the excitement and entertainment that can be found within these animal-filled spaces. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but imagine ourselves in their shoes – witnessing something truly extraordinary. This artwork not only showcases Australia's unique wildlife but also highlights how exploration brings people face-to-face with unfamiliar creatures from far-off lands. It serves as a reminder that our world is full of surprises waiting to be discovered. With its vibrant colours and humorous undertones, "The Discovery of the Kangaroo" invites us into a world where curiosity reigns supreme and laughter abounds. It reminds us that even in moments of scientific inquiry, there is always room for joy and entertainment.
