EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 79. The Great Ursine Sloth; a Sagoin or small Lion monkey, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. The artwork, measuring 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The image features a stunning zoological illustration of a sloth bear accompanied by handwritten manuscript text and labels. This unique piece is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby that contains drawings and descriptions of various animals, insects, birds, fish, and serpents. In this particular illustration, we see the sloth bear sitting upright with its distinctive leonine characteristics on display. Its powerful claws are visible as it stands confidently amidst its natural habitat. This artwork not only highlights the beauty and diversity of Australia's fauna but also serves as a testament to Digby's meticulous attention to detail in accurately depicting these creatures from either living specimens or stuffed museum exhibits. With its combination of scientific accuracy and artistic finesse, this image captures the essence of wildlife exploration during the early 19th century. It invites viewers to appreciate both the wonders of nature and human curiosity about our animal counterparts. As we gaze upon this remarkable composition from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to an era when natural history illustrations played a vital role in expanding our understanding of the world around us.
