EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 380. The Shrew Mouse, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this piece can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The artwork is part of a larger collection called "The Naturalists Companion" which features meticulously detailed drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various animals and natural specimens. Created either from living creatures or stuffed museum specimens, Digby's illustrations provide a comprehensive look into the world of fauna. In this particular image, we are introduced to the shrew mouse, a small mammal belonging to the Soricidae family. The label on the illustration provides essential information about its habitat and origin—specifically Australia and more precisely South Australia and West Australian regions within Oceania. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is that it includes handwritten manuscript text alongside the zoological illustration. This adds an extra layer of authenticity and historical significance to the piece. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, "Page 380" offers viewers a glimpse into both artistry and scientific exploration during the early 19th century in Australia. It serves as a testament to Digby's talent as an illustrator and his dedication to documenting nature's wonders for future generations.
