EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases page 60 of "The Naturalists Companion" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable illustrated manuscript that delves into the world of fauna and natural history. The image features three intriguing creatures: the horn or nose of the Saw Fish, the Boa Constricta, and the Sea Hedgehog. In this meticulously detailed watercolor and manuscript text composition, Digby's artistic talent shines through as he accurately captures these unique specimens. The sawfish's distinctive spiked snout is prominently displayed, drawing attention to its fascinating anatomy. Alongside it, we see an exquisite depiction of a boa constrictor coiled up in all its serpentine glory. Adding to the allure of this artwork is a sea hedgehog with its spiky exterior beautifully rendered on paper. Each creature is labeled with handwritten descriptions that enhance our understanding of their characteristics. Housed within Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into Australia's rich biodiversity during the early 19th century. It serves as both an educational resource for zoologists and an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts. Through Digby's skillful illustrations and meticulous attention to detail, we are transported back in time to explore nature's wonders through his eyes. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Australia's diverse wildlife but also Digby's contribution to scientific illustration during his era.
