EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration titled "Page 304. The Whitefaced Monkey, from Madras, copied from a living Animal exhibited in Dublin, 1810-17". Created by the talented Kenelm Henry Digby, this watercolor and manuscript text composition measures an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm and is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The image forms part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript that presents a diverse range of quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, insects, antiquities, and natural productions found within the museums of College and Dublin Society. This particular illustration focuses on a white-faced monkey captured during its mealtime. With meticulous attention to detail evident in every stroke of his brush or penmanship, Digby brings this simian creature to life on paper. The full-length depiction portrays the monkey perched on its haunches as it indulges in its meal with great gusto. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork's intricate details—its label carefully inscribed by hand—we are transported to another time and place where natural history exploration was at its peak. Through this piece's fusion of artistry and scientific accuracy lies an invitation for us to marvel at the wonders of Australia's fauna while appreciating Digby's exceptional talent as both artist and observer.
