··· IMAGE ···
This image comes from the Australia listing from an early 1900's French dictionary - a very thick and heavy book! A wonderfully detailed vintage illustration of Australian wildlife, birds and native plants, filled with some of Australia’s most iconic—and unusual—species.
This antique natural history scene features kangaroos, koalas, a thylacine (Tasmanian tiger), platypus, wombat, echidna, cassowary, lyrebird, black swan, cockatoos and more, surrounded by eucalyptus, tree ferns and other Australian flora. The original numbered French identification key gives it the character of an old encyclopedia or natural history plate.
Perfect for an Australia-themed gallery wall, vintage botanical collection, wildlife lover’s home, study, office, library or eclectic interior. It also makes a distinctive gift for anyone fascinated by Australian animals, natural history or antique scientific illustrations.
