EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 360. The Waved Butcher Bird, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image features a stunning combination of watercolor and manuscript text, adding depth and detail to the depiction of the Waved Butcher Bird. This bird is beautifully portrayed with its dappled and speckled feathers, showcasing the artist's keen eye for capturing nature's intricate patterns. Kenelm Henry Digby's work is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript that contains drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in museums. The label on this painting provides valuable information about the species' taxonomy and habitat: butcherbird (cracticus), native to Australia—specifically South Australia and West Australian regions within Oceania. This print not only highlights Digby's artistic talent but also serves as a valuable resource for ornithologists studying avian fauna in Australia during the early 19th century. With its handwritten notes and detailed rendering of the Waved Butcher Bird from different angles—a side view being depicted here—this artwork offers a glimpse into both natural history exploration and artistic expression during that era.
