Artist's Description
1792 First illustration of a newly discovered species lithographed by Frederick Nodder and published in George Shaw (Plate 109 original hand colour) in The Naturalist's Miscellany" vol. 3 no. 36. London: F.P. Nodder. Nodder probably copied a field sketch sent to England of a strange creature sketched by the Port Jackson Painter around 1791.Wrongly first identified as a link between the anteaters and the porcupine and so give the name "porcupine anteater". It was not until 1802, and the arrival in Britain of a specimen for dissection by Everard Home, that Shaw realised this animal was allied to the equally strange duck billed platypus - an egg laying mammal or monotreme."
