Upside Down World: Early European Impressions of Australia's Curious Animals
In the late 18th and early 19th century Eurocentric perceptions of natural history led to the new found flora and fauna of Australia being viewed as inferior. Olsen describes how this 'miscellany of the curious' fuelled the rage for Australian natural history amongst the upper classes of Europe.
