EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Page 499. The Place, 1810-17" takes us on a journey through time and nature. This exquisite piece of art, created by Kenelm Henry Digby in the early 19th century, showcases his remarkable talent as an illustrator and naturalist. Measuring at an impressive size of 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this painting captures the essence of Australia's diverse fauna with meticulous detail and precision. The handwritten manuscript text accompanying the illustration adds a touch of authenticity to this masterpiece. Within its frame lies a world teeming with life - from quadrupeds to birds, fishes to serpents, and insects that inhabit both land and sea. Each creature is portrayed with such accuracy that one can almost hear their calls or feel their presence. One particular fish caught my eye amidst this vibrant display: Pleuronectes platessa, commonly known as flatfish or plaice. Its intricate markings and graceful form are beautifully rendered in watercolor. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into the rich biodiversity found in Australia during that era. It is no wonder why it finds its home at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales – a sanctuary for knowledge seekers and admirers of natural history alike. As we gaze upon this extraordinary composition captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded once again of our planet's boundless beauty and the importance of preserving it for future generations to cherish.
