EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 129. The Chevrotin, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at 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 watercolor painting of a hoofed mammal known as the chevrotain or mouse deer. With its delicate spots and graceful appearance, the chevrotin stands out against a backdrop of handwritten manuscript text that accompanies the illustration. Kenelm Henry Digby's work is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript containing drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in museums. The label on this particular page identifies the animal as a tragulidae or chevrotain—a fascinating creature from the world of zoology. This piece not only captures the beauty and diversity of Australia's fauna but also highlights Digby's talent for combining artistry with scientific accuracy. Displayed within this print is an exquisite blend of natural history knowledge and artistic skill—an ode to Australia's unique wildlife heritage preserved within museum collections across the country. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded once again of nature's wonders waiting to be discovered within
