EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating assortment of ethnographic objects from the Pacific region. Labeled as "Page 222" this eclectic collection features two drawings depicting instruments used for tathowing in Otaheite (now known as Tahiti), along with a wooden comb from New Zealand. The wooden comb, dating back to 1810-17, is beautifully captured in watercolor and accompanied by manuscript text. The image transports us to a time when naturalists diligently documented the world's wonders, either through firsthand observation or by studying preserved specimens. Kenelm Henry Digby, the talented artist behind this illustrated manuscript, meticulously rendered these artifacts found in museums across Dublin Society and College. From tattooing implements to hair combs, each object tells its own unique story about the diverse cultures that inhabited Oceania. The handwritten labels add an authentic touch to this visual journey into history and anthropology. As we explore this snapshot of Australian heritage held at Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of indigenous traditions that have shaped our understanding of art and culture today. This image serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout different eras and regions—a true celebration of diversity within Australia's broader context.
