EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 38. The Indian Stare; the Hoopoe, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this ornithological masterpiece can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The image features a beautifully detailed zoological illustration of a perched bird known as the Hoopoe, accompanied by handwritten manuscript text and labels. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of paint and carefully crafted label. Kenelm Henry Digby's work, titled "The Naturalists Companion" offers an extensive collection of drawings depicting various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from living animals or stuffed specimens found within museums. In addition to showcasing Australia's unique fauna through his avian depiction of the Hoopoe species (Upupa), Digby also includes drawings of antiquities and natural productions discovered within these museums. This photograph not only captures the beauty and intricacy of Digby's artwork but also highlights its historical significance as an illustrated manuscript that contributes to our understanding of natural history during that period. Displayed with pride in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific exploration within ornithology—a true treasure for all admirers of avian wonders and lovers of fine art alike.
