"Nouvelle-hollande: Kanguroo A Bandes (striped Kangaroo)" is an exquisite illustration created by the French naturalist and artist Charles Alexandre Lesueur. Lesueur, born on January 1, 1778, in Le Havre, France, is renowned for his contributions to natural history through his detailed and scientifically valuable artwork. His works are particularly significant for their role in documenting the flora and fauna encountered during early exploratory expeditions.

This specific illustration, "Nouvelle-hollande: Kanguroo A Bandes," depicts a striped kangaroo, a species native to Australia, which was then known as Nouvelle-Hollande (New Holland). The artwork is a product of Lesueur's participation in the Baudin expedition to Australia (1800-1804), a French exploratory mission led by Captain Nicolas Baudin. The expedition aimed to map the coastlines and study the natural history of Australia, and it resulted in the collection of numerous specimens and the creation of detailed illustrations.

Lesueur's depiction of the striped kangaroo is notable for its accuracy and attention to detail, reflecting the scientific rigor of the time. His illustrations were not merely artistic endeavors but served as vital records for the scientific community, providing insights into species that were largely unknown to Europeans. The striped kangaroo, characterized by its distinctive banding, is rendered with a keen eye for anatomical precision and naturalistic presentation, showcasing Lesueur's dual talents as an artist and a naturalist.

The legacy of Lesueur's work extends beyond its immediate scientific value; it also offers a glimpse into the early 19th-century European perspective on the natural world of Australia. His illustrations, including "Nouvelle-hollande: Kanguroo A Bandes," remain significant historical documents, contributing to our understanding of the biodiversity encountered during one of the most important exploratory missions of the era. Lesueur's contributions continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and their enduring scientific importance.
