Description:
Distribution: Extinct. The Tasmanian Emu, became extinct around 1850. Keulemans was the most sought-after bird artist of the late19th and early 20th centuries. He was a prolific and talented work-oriented illustrator. This image is from the last great bird series, The Birds of Australia by G.Matthew’s and is rarer than John Gould’s work on Australian birds, with only 225 sets done. It was the last series produced to use hand colouring rather than colour printed lithography for the illustrations.
