EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 381. The Beaver, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable zoological illustration from the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork combines watercolor and manuscript text to bring forth an exquisite depiction of the beaver. "The Naturalists Companion" as described in the accompanying information, is a comprehensive collection containing drawings and accurate descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, insects, antiquities, and natural productions found within museums. Kenelm Henry Digby's illustrated manuscript beautifully captures the essence of these creatures either from living animals or stuffed specimens. In this particular piece focused on the beaver species (Castor), we are treated to a side view that highlights its distinctive features - notably its semiaquatic nature and rodent-like appearance with sharp teeth. The open mouth adds dynamism to the composition while showcasing its unique dental structure. Originating from Australia's rich fauna and specifically representing South Australia and West Australian regions within Oceania continent; this artwork serves as both an educational resource for studying wildlife diversity as well as a testament to Digby's artistic prowess. Bridgeman Images has impeccably captured this drawing-turned-painting through photography without mentioning any commercial use intentions but rather emphasizing appreciation for fine art itself.
