The artist behind this collection is anonymous, and the works are notable for their detailed depiction of the natural history of the Malacca region, which is now part of modern-day Malaysia. The drawing of the Bamboo Rat, specifically, is a representation of a rodent species native to the area, known for its habitat in the dense forests where bamboo is prevalent.

The artwork is part of a larger body of work that serves as an important historical record of the biodiversity of the Malacca region during the early 19th century.
