EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Page 356. White throated Kings Fisher; Lesser Butcher Bird, 1810-17" showcases the exquisite beauty of nature's avian wonders. The artwork, created by Kenelm Henry Digby in the early 19th century, is a stunning blend of watercolor and manuscript text. Displayed at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales, this piece is part of "The Naturalists Companion". It features meticulously detailed drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various animals found in Australia's diverse fauna. In this particular image, we are treated to a side view of two remarkable birds: the white-throated kingfisher and the lesser butcher bird. The kingfisher, scientifically known as Halcyon smyrnensis or white-breasted kingfisher, perches gracefully on a branch near a body of water. Its vibrant colors and regal presence make it an enchanting subject for any admirer. Beside it sits the butcherbird from the Cracticus genus. Known for its predatory behavior and unique vocalizations resembling those heard in butcheries (hence its name), this bird adds an element of intrigue to the composition. With Australia as their natural habitat, these feathered creatures symbolize both resilience and grace within their surroundings. This masterpiece not only celebrates their existence but also pays homage to other natural treasures housed within museums across Dublin Society and College. Through Digby's skilled handiwork captured on paper with delicate brushstrokes and handwritten annotations, viewers can immerse themselves in an era where artistry intertwined seamlessly with scientific exploration
