EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 278. The Quail, 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 masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. "The Quail" is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby himself. This comprehensive work features meticulously detailed drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were accurately copied from both living creatures and stuffed specimens found in renowned museums such as the College Museum and Dublin Society. In this particular artwork, we are treated to a side view of a quail—a small bird belonging to the galliformes order—rendered with exquisite precision and attention to detail. The handwritten labels further enhance our understanding of this fascinating avian species. With its rich colors and intricate brushwork capturing every feather and nuance of form, "Page 278: The Quail" exemplifies Digby's mastery as an ornithological artist. Its inclusion in the Mitchell Library's collection adds another layer of significance to this Australian treasure. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Digby's artistic prowess but also Australia's diverse fauna through his lens as a naturalist illustrator.
