EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases page 215 of "The Naturalists Companion" by Kenelm Henry Digby. The image features two exquisite drawings from 1810-17, accompanied by watercolor and manuscript text. The first drawing depicts the fascinating Paddle instrument used during dancing ceremonies in King Georges Sound. Held in the hand, this instrument adds rhythm and flair to traditional dances, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for onlookers. Next to it lies a pillow made of wood from Otaheite (now known as Tahiti), showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance of indigenous materials. This wooden pillow likely served both practical and decorative purposes within its community. Lastly, we are presented with fishing hooks from New Zealand that astound viewers with their immense size. These oversized hooks not only demonstrate the ingenuity of early Maori fishermen but also hint at the abundant marine life found off New Zealand's shores. Digby's meticulous illustrations provide an invaluable glimpse into the natural world and cultural artifacts of his time. Preserved within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, these drawings offer a window into history for all who appreciate art, anthropology, or simply wish to explore our diverse planet's past treasures.
