EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 99. The Crotulus, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the intricate beauty of nature's most feared creature - the rattlesnake. This stunning zoological illustration, created by Kenelm Henry Digby, showcases his meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Its label and handwritten notes provide valuable insights into its historical significance as a part of The Naturalists Companion. The vibrant watercolor hues bring life to the viper's scales while highlighting its distinctive rattle, a symbol of danger and warning in the animal kingdom. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of both awe and caution towards these fascinating creatures that inhabit our world. Digby's work not only focuses on capturing accurate representations but also serves as a testament to his passion for preserving natural history through artistry. His drawings were meticulously copied from living animals or stuffed specimens found within various museums across Dublin Society and College. This extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into Australia's diverse fauna, specifically showcasing one of its venomous inhabitants – the crotalus snake. It stands as a tribute to Australian wildlife enthusiasts who have dedicated their lives to studying and understanding these captivating reptiles. Through this remarkable composition, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the scientific value and aesthetic appeal that lie within Page 99: The Crotulus.
