EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 274. The Snipe, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable piece of art that combines watercolor and manuscript text. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. "The Snipe" is part of "The Naturalists Companion" a comprehensive collection featuring exquisite drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living creatures and stuffed specimens found in renowned museums such as the College and Dublin Society. In this particular image, we are presented with a side view of a long-billed shorebird known as the snipe—a fascinating specimen within the avian world. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out every intricate detail while capturing its unique characteristics like its elongated beak belonging to the scolopacidae family. Accompanying the painting is handwritten text that further enriches our understanding of this beautiful creature's natural history. This zoological illustration serves as a testament to Digby's dedication to accurately portraying wildlife through his artistic talent. With its labeled annotations and ornithological significance, this Australian masterpiece offers valuable insights into our country's diverse fauna heritage—particularly those found in South Australia and Western Australia regions within Oceania.
