EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 164. The Harp of Brien Borhoime, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The harp depicted in this piece holds great historical significance as it belonged to Brien Borhoime (Brian Boru), the founder of the O'Brien dynasty and High King of Ireland from 1002-14. This exquisite illustration is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby that features drawings and descriptions of various animals, natural productions, antiquities, and more. With its intricate soundboard and coat of arms decoration, this medieval musical instrument is a true testament to craftsmanship during the Middle Ages. The handwritten manuscript text adds a personal touch to the artwork while highlighting its authenticity. Although time has taken its toll on this artifact with a missing string, it remains a cherished relic from Irish history. Its presence in Australia's Mitchell Library speaks to the cultural connections between nations across oceans. This print captures not only the beauty but also the rich heritage associated with Brian Boru and his reign as king of Ireland. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites us to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined within one frame.
