EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 338. The Three-toed Woodpecker, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. The artwork, measuring 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Digby's masterpiece is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript that meticulously depicts a wide range of animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. This particular drawing focuses on the fascinating avian species known as Picoides tridactylus or the three-toed woodpecker. With its exquisite brown plumage adorned with delicate speckles, this Australian bird stands out among its feathered counterparts. Its unique three-toed feet add to its charm and make it a subject of great interest for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts alike. The label accompanying the artwork provides essential information about the species' habitat and distribution across Australia—specifically South Australia and West Australia within Oceania—as well as its presence in New South Wales. Displayed alongside handwritten manuscript text from Digby himself, this painting offers viewers a glimpse into both artistic skill and scientific observation during the early 19th century. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Digby's work while immersing ourselves in the rich world of Australian fauna captured within these pages.
