A Victorian cased preserved Koala Bear by James Gardner The animal in naturalistic pose, the reverse of the case with trade label. 55 cms high. Provenance: This item was brought to England by Captain Herbert Maude, circa 1865, from Sydney on board a ship of the British India Company. He was unaware that the animal only ate eucalyptus leaves and it consequently died. On a previous trip he had brought back a wallaby which subsequently ate all of the wallpaper off his aunt's dining room, he was given to London Zoo and as a result he had free entry to the Zoo for life.
