EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 227. Five small specimens of the Cornu Amonis 5 drawings, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the essence of natural history in a single print. Created by Kenelm Henry Digby, this eclectic piece showcases his meticulous zoological illustrations and handwritten descriptions of various creatures. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. It forms part of Digby's comprehensive work titled 'The Naturalists Companion, ' which features drawings and detailed explanations of quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, insects, antiquities, and other natural productions found within museums. The focal point of this particular print is the five small specimens of Cornu Amonis or ammonite fossils depicted with remarkable accuracy. These fossilized spiral shells are labeled meticulously by hand to aid viewers in understanding their significance within Australia's rich fauna. Digby's expertise as both an artist and a naturalist shines through in this composition. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to these ancient relics while preserving their petrified beauty for generations to come. As you explore this artwork from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, let your imagination wander back in time to when these fascinating creatures roamed our planet's oceans millions of years ago.
