EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 449. The Blata Gigantea or American Cockroach; yellow Butterfly; the Idomenus Butterfly, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive size of 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image features a beautifully detailed painting accompanied by manuscript text, adding to its allure and historical significance. It is part of "The Naturalists Companion" which includes drawings and descriptions of various animals, insects, and natural productions meticulously copied from living specimens or stuffed exhibits found in prestigious museums. In this particular piece, we are treated to a close-up view of the Blata Gigantea or American Cockroach alongside a vibrant yellow butterfly known as the Idomenus Butterfly. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate the intricate patterns on both creatures' wings while highlighting their unique characteristics. This entomological masterpiece takes us into the fascinating world of insects and serves as a testament to Australia's diverse fauna. With references to blaberus giganteus (cockroach) and nymphalis urticae/aglais urticae (butterflies), it offers valuable insights into zoology and wildlife in Australia during that period. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we have the opportunity to admire not only Digby's artistic talent but also gain knowledge about these remarkable creatures that inhabit our planet.
