Comment
In George Barrington's book A Voyage to Australia the kangaroo is described as 'about the size of a common deer, of a dark tan colour...its hind legs are much larger that the fore, and with them they leap and spring forward with amazing rapidity'.Available in a Proof version in a plush case and as an Uncirculated Frosted version in a card.
