Created between 1810-17, this artwork is a stunning combination of watercolor and manuscript text. The piece measures 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm and is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The frontispiece belongs to a larger work called "The Naturalists Companion" which features drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in museums across Dublin Society and College. In addition to capturing the diversity of wildlife through his drawings, Digby also included depictions of antiquities and natural productions found within these museums. This illustrated manuscript serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in zoology, nature studies, or simply appreciating the beauty of animal life.
