EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases page 386 of "The Naturalists Companion" a remarkable illustrated manuscript by Kenelm Henry Digby. The image features an exquisite watercolor and manuscript text depicting the Hamster, also known as the German Marmot, dating back to 1810-17. Measuring at 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this piece is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. "The Naturalists Companion" offers a comprehensive collection of drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, insects, antiquities, and natural productions found in museums across Dublin Society and College. This particular illustration captures the essence of zoological illustration with its meticulously labeled depiction of a side view of this fascinating mammal. With Australia's rich fauna diversity serving as inspiration for Digby's work, it is no surprise that this masterpiece finds its home in New South Wales' esteemed library. The handwritten notes add an authentic touch to this artwork while providing valuable insights into the world of zoology during that era. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured every intricate detail in their photograph - from the delicate brushstrokes to each carefully written word on display. This print serves as a testament to both Digby's artistic talent and his dedication to documenting nature's wonders for generations to come.
