EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 326. The Foumart, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image features a beautifully detailed zoological illustration of a foumart or polecat, scientifically known as Mustela putorius. This mustelid mammal is depicted from a side view, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique physical characteristics and markings. Accompanying the illustration is handwritten manuscript text that provides suitable descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects found in nature. Digby's work was meticulously created by accurately copying living animals or stuffed specimens from museums such as the College and Dublin Society. In addition to his depictions of fauna, Digby also included drawings of antiquities and natural productions housed within these museums. His illustrated manuscript serves as an invaluable resource for naturalists and enthusiasts interested in exploring Australia's rich biodiversity during the early 19th century. This print not only captures the beauty of Digby's artwork but also highlights its historical significance in documenting Australia's wildlife heritage. It offers a glimpse into the world of natural history and zoology while showcasing the talent and dedication behind this remarkable piece.
