EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of natural history, titled "Page 248. Common Horned Owl, 1810-17". Created by the talented artist Kenelm Henry Digby (1800-80), this watercolor and manuscript text composition measures an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm and is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The artwork is part of Digby's illustrious work, "The Naturalists Companion" which features meticulously drawn illustrations accompanied by detailed descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. The drawings were faithfully reproduced from both living creatures and preserved specimens found in prestigious museums such as the College and Dublin Society. In this particular illustration, we are treated to a stunning depiction of a Common Horned Owl perched on a tree branch. The owl's majestic presence is enhanced by its intricate labeling and handwritten notes that provide valuable insights into its characteristics and behavior. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, this zoological illustration transports us into the fascinating world of avian fauna. It captures not only the beauty but also the essence of these magnificent creatures while offering invaluable knowledge for ornithologists or anyone with an appreciation for nature's wonders. Displayed proudly within Australia's Mitchell Library collection, this masterpiece serves as a testament to Digby's artistic talent as well as his dedication to preserving our understanding of Earth's diverse wildlife through artistry and scientific observation.
