EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 183. The Silver headed Vulture, 1810-17" a remarkable watercolor and manuscript text created by Kenelm Henry Digby (1800-80). Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this piece is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. "The Naturalists Companion" is an illustrated manuscript that beautifully captures a vast array of Quadrupeds, Birds, Fishes, Serpents, and Insects with detailed descriptions. These drawings were meticulously copied from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in various museums such as the College and Dublin Society. The image portrays a side view of the majestic Silver headed Vulture - a bird known for its scavenging nature. The ornithological illustration exhibits exquisite craftsmanship with intricate details that bring this magnificent creature to life. With handwritten labels enhancing its authenticity, this zoological artwork offers valuable insights into the world of avian fauna. As one delves into the painting's rich composition and explores every stroke of paint on paper, they are transported to Australia's diverse landscapes where these birds soar freely. A true testament to Digby's talent as an artist and naturalist alike, this drawing serves as a window into Australia's unique wildlife heritage. It celebrates not only the beauty but also the importance of preserving our natural world for future generations to appreciate and cherish.
