EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 383. The Bat, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable piece of zoological illustration from the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Measuring 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork combines watercolor and manuscript text to create an exquisite depiction of a bat. "The Bat" is part of Digby's renowned work, "The Naturalists Companion" which features detailed drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. This illustrated manuscript was meticulously copied either from living creatures or stuffed specimens found in museums across Dublin Society and College. In this particular artwork, we see a front view of the bat with its wings outstretched majestically against a backdrop that hints at Australia's unique fauna. The label on the image provides valuable information about this mammal belonging to the Chiroptera order. With its handwritten details adding an authentic touch to the composition, this zoological illustration not only captures the beauty and intricacies of nature but also serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike. Displayed within the Mitchell Library's collection at the State Library of New South Wales in Australia, Oceania, this extraordinary artwork exemplifies Digby's dedication to capturing natural wonders while preserving them for generations to come.
