EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Page 357. The Cod, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the renowned Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image showcases a beautifully detailed zoological illustration that forms part of "The Naturalists Companion". This extraordinary manuscript features drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects meticulously copied from living creatures or stuffed specimens found in museums. In particular focus is the magnificent cod fish with its mouth wide open in a display of aquatic grandeur. The label accompanying the drawing provides valuable information about this species belonging to the Gadidae family. With Australia as its backdrop and representing both South Australia and West Australian marine life within Oceania's waters, this artwork offers a glimpse into the rich fauna found in these regions during Digby's time. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that it not only celebrates natural history but also highlights several antiquities and other natural productions contained within museum collections. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every intricate detail in this painting-turned-photo print for us to appreciate and admire wildlife through artistry's lens.
