EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 325. The Widow bird, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable piece of art that combines watercolor and manuscript text. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. "The Widow bird" is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby that features drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living animals and preserved specimens found in museums. In this particular image, we see a stunning avian creature known as the Widow bird perched on a tree stump with its long tail elegantly displayed. The bird's vibrant red collar adds to its allure as it sits gracefully amidst its natural habitat. With Australia as its backdrop, this artwork captures the essence of Australian fauna and highlights the unique beauty found within nature's creations. Its inclusion in Digby's manuscript further emphasizes his dedication to documenting not only wildlife but also antiquities and other natural productions held within museums. As we admire this painting's intricate details - from the label neatly handwritten to every stroke of color - we are transported into a world where ornithology meets artistry. This print serves as a testament to both Digby's talent as an artist and his passion for capturing the wonders of our natural world through his work.
