Page 41. The Flying Lizard. 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the exquisite beauty and intricate details of a zoological illustration by Kenelm Henry Digby. This stunning print, housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, showcases an enchanting side view of a dragon lizard known as Draco. The painting depicts this remarkable reptile gracefully perched on a branch, its slender body perfectly adapted for climbing. With meticulous brushstrokes and delicate handwriting, Digby brings to life the fauna of Australia's natural world in this artwork. Accompanied by handwritten labels and descriptive manuscript text, this piece is part of 'The Naturalists Companion, ' a comprehensive collection that features drawings and descriptions of various animals, insects, birds, fishes, serpents, antiquities, and natural productions found within museums. Measuring at 39.6 x 25.2 x 5.4 cm. , this extraordinary composition showcases Digby's keen eye for detail and his passion for capturing the essence of Australian wildlife during the early nineteenth century. As you admire 'Page 41: The Flying Lizard, ' allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era where scientific exploration intertwined with artistic expression; where nature's wonders were meticulously documented through paintbrushes and ink pens.
