EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 281. The Common Gull, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The artwork is part of "The Naturalists Companion" a meticulously illustrated manuscript that features an array of Quadrupeds, Birds, Fishes, Serpents and Insects found in the College and Dublin Society Museums. Kenelm Henry Digby's drawings are not only accurate but also accompanied by suitable descriptions. In this particular illustration, we see a side view of the Common Gull (Larus canus), a seabird belonging to the Laridae family. Its elegant form is beautifully captured through watercolor painting and meticulous detailing. The handwritten labels add an authentic touch to the composition while providing valuable information about the bird's taxonomy and habitat. This zoological illustration serves as a testament to Digby's expertise in ornithology and his dedication to capturing nature's wonders with precision.
