EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases the unique and fascinating Duck-Billed Platypus. Created by an unknown French artist, this print is a part of a Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la natureA, published between 1833-39 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this extraordinary creature. With its duck-like bill, webbed feet, and beaver-like tail, the platypus stands out as one of nature's most peculiar creations. The vibrant colours used in the engraving bring life to its fur and highlight its distinct features. Ornithorhynchus anatinus, commonly known as the Ornithorhynchus or Duck-Billed Platypus, is native to Australia. This illustration provides a rare glimpse into its appearance during the 19th century when it was still relatively unknown to much of the world. Now preserved in a private collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human curiosity about our natural world. It reminds us of how early scientists sought to document and understand even the most enigmatic creatures on Earth. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece without any copyright restrictions. Let this enchanting image transport you back in time and inspire awe for one of nature's most extraordinary creations - the Duck-Billed Platyp
