Comments

The first release in the Explorers' First Sightings is based on a 1772 painting of a kangaroo by George Stubbs. Botanist Joseph Banks brought a specimen of the unusual creature back to England in 1773 and commissioned George Stubbs to paint its likeness.

 

Issued by the RAM in a capsule inserted in a coincard.
