EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 287. The Variegated Parrot, from South America" a stunning piece of artwork created by Kenelm Henry Digby in the early 19th century. Measuring at 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this watercolor and manuscript text composition can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image depicts a vibrant parrot perched on a branch, meticulously copied from a living bird exhibited in Dublin between 1810 and 1817. This remarkable illustration is part of Digby's Naturalists Companion, which features an array of drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. The label and handwritten notes add an authentic touch to this zoological masterpiece that captures the essence of ornithology and natural history exploration during that era. The green plumage beautifully contrasts against the background as it highlights the exotic beauty of this avian species native to South America. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, Digby's work not only serves as an artistic creation but also contributes valuable knowledge to our understanding of fauna diversity across different continents. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Australia's rich natural heritage while celebrating Digby's talent as both an artist and naturalist. It stands as a testament to his dedication in accurately capturing nature's wonders for future generations to appreciate within museums like those belonging to the College and Dublin Society.
