EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing glimpse into the past. Entitled "Page 35. Four antient lamps found in the catacombs; rings found with a number of others in a sepulchre monument on the spot where the famous battle of Cannae is supposed to have been, 1810-17" it transports us back to a time shrouded in mystery and history. The image features four ancient lamps discovered within the catacombs, their delicate forms illuminated by soft candlelight. These artifacts offer a tangible connection to our ancestors, shedding light on their daily lives and customs. Accompanying these lamps are rings that were unearthed alongside numerous others in a sepulchre monument believed to be located at the site of the renowned Battle of Cannae. This significant historical event took place centuries ago, yet its impact still resonates today. Rendered with watercolor and manuscript text, this artwork is part of Kenelm Henry Digby's illustrated manuscript titled "The Naturalists Companion". Within its pages lie drawings and descriptions capturing an extensive range of creatures from quadrupeds to insects as well as antiquities and natural wonders housed within museums. Preserved within Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales, this print offers not only visual delight but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with our collective past.
