Page 260. The Partridge, 1810-17 - A Captivating Glimpse into the Natural World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print captures a remarkable piece of art from the early 19th century - "Page 260. The Partridge, 1810-17". Created by Kenelm Henry Digby, an accomplished naturalist and artist, this watercolor and manuscript text composition is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Part of "The Naturalists Companion". Digby's masterpiece presents a comprehensive collection of meticulously drawn quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, insects, antiquities, and other natural wonders. Each illustration is accompanied by detailed descriptions derived from both living animals and preserved specimens found in various museums. In this particular artwork featuring a partridge from the galliformes family (phasianidae), Digby's skillful brushwork brings to life every intricate detail of this gamebird. With handwritten annotations labeling its distinct features and characteristics, this zoological illustration serves as an invaluable resource for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. Originating from Australia's rich fauna diversity during that era, this avian marvel showcases not only Digby's artistic prowess but also his dedication to documenting the country's unique wildlife heritage. As we admire this exquisite painting within its historical context at Mitchell Library today, it offers us a glimpse into Australia's past while celebrating its vibrant natural history.
