Caught and Coloured: Zoological Illustrations from Colonial Victoria

Frederick McCoy's Prodromus of the Zoology of Victoria set out to describe the colony's fauna.

Drawing on Museum Victoria's rich archival sources, Caught & Coloured: Zoological Illustrations from Colonial Victoria explores the legacy of this great project.

Original drawings, lithographic proofs and manuscripts bring to life the work of both McCoy and the artists he commissioned.
