EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 165. The Liath Meisicith of the Irish Druids, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. The image features a mesmerizing blend of watercolor and manuscript text, creating an enchanting visual experience. Housed in a container measuring 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this artifact holds immense historical significance. The label on the container hints at its mystical nature, as it refers to sorcery and druidical practices. Adorned with intricate jewels, this bejeweled vessel seems to possess supernatural powers associated with ancient Irish folklore and Celtic traditions. The handwritten notes add an air of authenticity to the painting's subject matter - a sorcerer or druid performing mysterious rituals using a tin box filled with magical artifacts and drawings depicting various natural wonders. As we delve into this artwork's depths, we are transported back in time to witness the mystical world of ancient Ireland unfold before our eyes. The liath fail (also known as the Stone of Destiny) takes center stage within this composition – a symbol steeped in myth and legend. This print not only captures the beauty and intricacy of Digby's work but also serves as a testament to Australia's rich cultural heritage through its presence at Mitchell Library in New South Wales. It invites us to explore Oceania's connection to ancient civilizations while marveling at their artistry and beliefs preserved within these precious artifacts.
