EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Page 362. The Purple Tanager, and a Beeeater, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this painting is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. The artwork belongs to "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript meticulously crafted by Digby himself. This comprehensive collection contains drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various animals including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These intricate illustrations were either copied from living creatures or stuffed specimens found in renowned museums like the College and Dublin Society. In this particular image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are treated to a side view of two stunning avian species - the Purple Tanager and a Bee Eater perched on a tree stump. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays these feathered creatures with precision and accuracy. With its handwritten labels and meticulous handwriting adorning the page alongside the vibrant colors used in watercolor technique, this artwork truly captures the essence of natural history exploration during that era. As we delve into this masterpiece's ornithological wonders set against an Australian backdrop - specifically South Australia and West Australia - it serves as a testament to both Digby's artistic prowess and his dedication to documenting nature's beauty for generations to come.
