EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 445. Scarabaeus Actaeon, or Brazilian Bullcomber; the Stag Beetle; the Interrupted Stag Beetle; the Rough Indian Beetle" from a collection by Kenelm Henry Digby. The artwork, created between 1810-17, combines watercolor and manuscript text to provide an exquisite depiction of these fascinating creatures. The image is part of "The Naturalists Companion" a comprehensive compilation that features drawings and detailed descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. Digby meticulously copied these illustrations from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in museums across Dublin Society and College. In this particular piece, the focus lies on beetles belonging to the coleoptera family. The black lucanidae beetles are beautifully portrayed with intricate details that highlight their unique characteristics. As we delve into entomology through this artwork, we gain insight into the diverse world of insects. With its handwritten labels and descriptive notes accompanying each illustration, this print offers a glimpse into natural history studies during that era. It serves as a testament to Digby's dedication in accurately representing Australia's fauna for future generations to appreciate. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this painting not only celebrates Australia's rich biodiversity but also pays homage to Digby's artistic talent and his contribution to zoological research. Through his work, he invites us to marvel at nature's wonders while fostering our curiosity about these creepy crawlies that play vital roles in our ecosystems.
