EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 345. The Roller, 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 comprehensive collection featuring drawings and detailed descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in prestigious museums such as the College and Dublin Society. Kenelm Henry Digby's illustrated manuscript not only focuses on fauna but also includes depictions of antiquities and natural productions discovered within these museums' collections. In this particular image, we are presented with a side view of an avian wonder known as the Roller bird (coraciidae). Adorned with vibrant green plumage, it perches gracefully on a branch while displaying its distinctive features for all to admire. Originating from Australia—specifically South Australia and West Australian regions—the Roller represents one of Oceania's unique avian species. Its presence adds to the rich biodiversity found in New South Wales. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this painting/drawing combination along with its handwritten label that enhances our understanding of this mesmerizing creature's characteristics.
