Item description from seller

Fine hand coloured lithograph heightened with gum arabic, 52.2 x 35.5cm (plate size), 55.5 x 37.8cm (sheet size), toning at the plate mark and to the margins, verso of the plate browned, but the face of the plate clean and unmarked, small stitch holes to the inner margin. A very good example. A charming plate (no. 27) from Gould's landmark work, "A monograph of the Macropodidae, or family of kangaroos". In his later "Mammals of Australia" Gould notes "In disposition it appeared to be more slothful than the terrestrial Kangaroos" and that it ".is a native of New Guinea, where it was discovered by Dr W. S. Muller in Triton Bay".
