EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 504. The Common Antelope" a stunning depiction of a living animal exhibited in Dublin between 1810 and 1817. Created by the talented artist Kenelm Henry Digby, this artwork combines watercolor and manuscript text to provide an intricate portrayal of the antelope species. Displayed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this piece is part of "The Naturalists Companion". This comprehensive collection features drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. Digby meticulously copied these illustrations from both live animals and stuffed specimens found in museums across Dublin. In this particular image, we see a side view of the antelope—a magnificent ungulate with hooves belonging to the bovidae family. Its striking antlers add to its allure as it stands proudly amidst its natural habitat. With handwritten labels enhancing our understanding of its characteristics and behavior, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for zoologists studying wild animals. Notably set against an Australian backdrop—specifically New South Wales—this piece highlights the diverse fauna found across Australia's vast landscapes. It offers a glimpse into Australia's rich wildlife heritage while showcasing Digby's exceptional artistic skills. "Page 504. The Common Antelope" is just one example from Digby's extensive collection that captures the beauty and diversity of Australia's native creatures—an ode to their existence within untamed wildernesses throughout history.
