  • Tasmanian Tiger – Extinct or Merely Elusive – Andy Park – Australian Geographic 1986

    Tasmanian Tiger – Extinct or Merely Elusive – Andy Park – Australian Geographic 1986

    Dick Smith’s Journal the “Australian Geographic” was something special in the early editions. Here in Vol 1 No 3 of 1986 we have one of the great sources of Thylacine information in an special 18 page segment written by Andy Park and illustrated (so well) by Rod Scott.

    Great images of “Benjamin” the last tiger in captivity, sad images of early reward posters, turn of the century “Tiger Hunters” and an assessment of the Nullarbor mummy ( surely mis-dated). The then “Tiger Searchers” including Dr Eric Guiler and of course Peter Wright with his expedition headquarters near Lake Adelaide. And the sightings, and not just in Tassie. A nice chronology ends the piece to bring historical perspective to the article. Dr Bob Brown given credit for his contribution and well deserved.

    Just a Journal but no better Tassie Tiger

  • Tasmanian Thylacine – Lydekker – 1896

    Tasmanian Thylacine – Lydekker – 1896

    Original wood cut print of the Tasmanian Thylacine from Richard Lydekker’s superb work on Marsupials.

    Lydekker identified the need for a reassessment of Australian Marsupials given that Gould’s magnificent work was even by then extremely rare and costly and that a number of “new” marsupials had since been dicovered.

    One of a few collectable 19th Century Thylacine images. The poor creature was already very scarce by the time this work was published.

    Framed in gilt within cream mat with black inner core.

    Voyager also have a good copy of the entire Lydekker work … search Lydekker ….
