EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Page 212. Lizards, they are the same size as the drawing, 1810-17". Created by Kenelm Henry Digby (1800-80), this watercolor and manuscript text composition measures 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm and is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The artwork is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript that features drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living creatures and stuffed specimens found in museums associated with College and Dublin Society. In this particular image, we see a vibrant green lizard depicted in its life-sized glory. The artist's attention to detail is evident not only in capturing the physical characteristics but also in labeling each element with handwritten annotations. The lizard appears to be climbing on a stump or branch against a backdrop reminiscent of Australia's diverse fauna. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the world of zoological illustration during the early 19th century while highlighting Digby's talent for accurately portraying natural history subjects. It serves as a testament to his dedication to preserving scientific knowledge through artistry and meticulous observation.
