Born in London in 1892, Daglish demonstrated an interest in the natural world from childhood, both scientifically and artistically. After studying at Hereford County College, he received his scientific education at universities in London and Bonn, Germany, before serving in the Middlesex Imperial Yeomanry and the Royal Field Artillery in Ireland, Flanders and France during WWI. Following the war, Daglish moved to the Buckinghamshire Chilterns to pursue his ambitions as a naturalist and artist. Having been taught the skill of wood engraving by his close friend, Paul Nash, Daglish was admired for his ability to synthesise his scientific knowledge and artistic dexterity to produce works that were both beautiful and informative. Amongst his many engravings, Daglish is, perhaps, best-known for authoring and illustrating his 1948 text Bords of the British Isles, and for illustrating classics by Izaak Walton, Henry David Thoreau, Gilbert White and W. H. Hudson with exquisite wood engravings. A fellow of the Zoological Society and the President of the Natural History Society between 1924 and 1926, Daglish had an accomplished and celebrated career as a naturalist, initially lecturing in zoology at Toynbee Hall, London, before working as a field naturalist and correspondent for the BBC and London Evening Standard.
