Poster about the Koala, based on an old engraving from 1774.

Koala poster, after a 1774 engraving by the artist and naturalist Georg August Goldfuss. Dimensions: 21 X 14.8 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, heavyweight paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This vintage illustration depicts a koala, here called Lipurus cinerus, hanging from a tree trunk. Two koalas are clearly visible: one resting on the ground on a trunk, while the other gracefully climbs a branch. Goldfuss's delicate work reveals the animal's gentle nature, with its characteristic features: its thick fur, large round ears, and expressive eyes. The simple background, with touches of green around the trunk, highlights the animal while remaining true to the naturalist aesthetic of the period. The koala, an emblem of Australian forests, appears captured in its natural habitat, amidst the vegetation. This poster will resonate with the world of exotic animals and collections of curiosities, and can also be associated with items such as figurines of wild animals or decorative elements inspired by nature.
