"Black Emus of Kangaroo Island".

The large bird is thought to be based on a Kangaroo Island emu, and the small one on the King Island emu, but were thought to be a male and female of the same species at the time.[1]

The original hand coloured copper engraving was engraved by F. Lambert after paintings and drawings by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur who was the offical artist of natural history on the Nicholas Baudin Voyage 1800-1804 for 'Péron, François (1775-1810).
