Advances in new digital technologies have led to the blossoming of a great variety of techniques for analysing art objects, as well as other elements of material culture. This article outlines a digital study of the artistic technique employed by Canarian naturalist Domingo Bello y Espinosa (1817-1884) in his notebook Álbum Pintoresco de Canarias (1879, whereby digital photography has offered an initial approach to his technique of scientific illustration. The article brings to light this Canarian’s heretofore little-known scientific drawings while inviting reflection on the usefulness of digital technology in interpreting them.
