EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 511. The Zebu, copied from a living animal exhibited in Dublin, 1810-17" takes us on a journey back in time to the early 19th century. Painted with watercolors and accompanied by meticulous manuscript text, this artwork is part of Kenelm Henry Digby's masterpiece, "The Naturalists Companion". Intriguingly labeled and appended with detailed descriptions, this zoological illustration showcases the magnificent Zebu - a humped cattle species known as Bos taurus indicus. Its white coat contrasts beautifully against its impressive horns, capturing the essence of this remarkable mammal. Originally housed in the Museums of the College and Dublin Society, these drawings were meticulously created either from living animals or stuffed specimens. They provide an invaluable glimpse into the natural history collections of that era. As we delve deeper into this image's historical significance, it becomes evident that it holds particular relevance to Australia. With mentions of South Australia and West Australian fauna within its description tags, it connects us to Oceania's rich biodiversity. Preserved at Mitchell Library within New South Wales' State Library archives, this painting offers both art enthusiasts and zoology aficionados an opportunity to appreciate Digby's skillful craftsmanship alongside his dedication to scientific accuracy. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a visual treasure trove that invites exploration into our planet's diverse wildlife heritage while simultaneously celebrating the intersection between art and science throughout history.
