EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 22. The Pelican of the Wilderness; the Tern or Sea Swallow, 1810-17" transports us back in time to a world of natural wonders and meticulous documentation. Created by Kenelm Henry Digby, an esteemed naturalist and illustrator, this piece is part of his illustrious manuscript known as "The Naturalists Companion". Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this ornithological masterpiece showcases the intricate details of two remarkable water birds - the pelican and the tern or sea swallow. With its long beak and distinctive throat pouch, the pelican stands tall as a symbol of wilderness and grace. Accompanied by handwritten manuscript text, Digby's work not only captures these avian creatures' physical attributes but also provides suitable descriptions that enhance our understanding of their behavior and habitat. Housed within Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales in Australia, this artwork exemplifies Digby's dedication to accurately depicting nature through drawings based on both living animals and stuffed specimens from prestigious museums. As we gaze upon this zoological illustration delicately painted with watercolors, we are reminded of our planet's rich fauna diversity found across Oceania. This image serves as a testament to Australia's unique wildlife heritage while paying homage to Digby's invaluable contributions to ornithology. With every stroke captured on paper, this print preserves history itself – a visual treasure for all who appreciate artistry intertwined with scientific exploration.
