EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 146. A young Shark, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the captivating beauty and scientific curiosity of the natural world. This exquisite print, created by Kenelm Henry Digby, showcases a stunning zoological illustration of a young shark with its mouth wide open in an aquatic setting. The artwork is part of The Naturalists Companion, a meticulously detailed illustrated manuscript that features drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. Digby's illustrations were carefully copied from living animals or stuffed specimens found in museums across College and Dublin Society. With delicate brushstrokes and handwritten notes accompanying the painting, this piece offers both aesthetic pleasure and valuable scientific insight into Australia's diverse fauna. The label on the print highlights its significance as a contribution to natural history studies. Displayed at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork serves as a testament to Digby's dedication to capturing nature's wonders through artistry and meticulous observation. It invites viewers to appreciate the intricate details of marine life while also acknowledging Australia's rich biodiversity. This remarkable piece not only exemplifies Digby's talent but also reminds us of our responsibility to protect these precious creatures and their habitats for future generations.
