EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of history - "Page 140. Model of a Chinese Junk, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. The image captures the intricate details of this miniature sailing vessel, measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm. The model, beautifully depicted in watercolor and accompanied by manuscript text, is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. It is part of Digby's illustrious work titled "The Naturalists Companion" which features drawings and descriptions of various animals, insects, antiquities, and natural productions. With its handwritten label and meticulous painting style, this replica offers a glimpse into Asian maritime culture during the early 19th century. Its presence in Australia highlights the country's rich connection to seafaring traditions. As we admire this stunning rendition, we can't help but imagine the adventures that unfolded aboard such junks as they sailed across vast oceans. This artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with exploration. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this remarkable boat but also its significance within Australia's historical narrative.
