EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Page 297. Necklace Doves, from China, copied from living birds exhibited in Dublin; a Java Sparrow, copied from a living bird exhibited in Dublin, 1810-17". Created by Kenelm Henry Digby (1800-80), this watercolor and manuscript text composition measures 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm and is housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The artwork belongs to "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript that features drawings and descriptions of various animals including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. Digby meticulously reproduced these illustrations either from live animals or stuffed specimens found in the museums of the College and Dublin Society. In this particular image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we see a Lonchura oryzivora (Java Sparrow) perched on a branch with handwritten labels identifying its species. The delicate brushstrokes beautifully depict the bird's plumage while the intricate details capture its essence as if it were alive. This ornithological masterpiece not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insights into Australia's natural history during the early 19th century. It stands as a testament to Digby's dedication to preserving and documenting wildlife through his artistic talent. As viewers gaze upon this enchanting artwork, they are transported back in time to witness nature's wonders through the eyes of both artist and observer alike.
