An assemblage of thirteen marsupial species illustrated by an unknown artist, from German author, editor and publicist Wilhelm Bölsche's "Entwicklungsgeschichte der Natur" (Development of Natural History), 1894.

Born in Cologne, Bölsche studied from 1883 to 1885 philosophy, art history and archaeology in Bonn, and moved to Berlin in 1885.  Although most of his work covers natural history topics, he was not actually a naturalist, but a popularizer of natural history as a layperson to an unaware public.
