EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 11 from The Geographical Distribution of Animals, an elegant nineteenth-century illustration by Alfred Russel Wallace, showcases a diverse array of mammals native to the Australasian region. The intricately detailed engraving captures the unique behaviors and habitats of these remarkable creatures, transporting us back in time to the daytime jungles and forests of Australia. Wallace, a renowned naturalist and co-discoverer of the theory of evolution by natural selection, meticulously documented the distribution and classification of various faunas during his extensive travels throughout the world. This plate, published in 1876, represents the Mammalia class, featuring an impressive one-horned rhinoceros, a kangaroo, a Tasmanian devil, a koala, and various other marsupials and placental mammals. The illustration not only highlights the rich biodiversity of the Australasian region but also elucidates the past changes of Earth's surface by revealing the geographical distribution of these animals. The monochrome drawing encapsulates the essence of the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the animal kingdom during the 1823-1913 period. This image offers a glimpse into the natural history of Australia and its unique mammalian fauna, providing valuable insights into the behavior and habitats of these fascinating creatures that continue to captivate our imagination and inspire scientific exploration.
