EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 395. The Pintado, or Guinea Hen, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the exquisite beauty of this unique bird species. Painted by Kenelm Henry Digby, a renowned naturalist and artist, this stunning print showcases the meticulous attention to detail that defined his work. The guinea hen, also known as the pintado or numidae, is depicted in a side view with its distinctive speckled plumage on full display. Its elegant form and graceful posture are captured flawlessly through Digby's masterful brushstrokes. Accompanying the painting is handwritten manuscript text providing suitable descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects found in nature. This illustrated manuscript serves as a comprehensive guide for those interested in studying and understanding different animal species. Housed within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales in Australia, this artwork not only celebrates the avian wonders found on Australian soil but also pays homage to Digby's dedication to preserving natural history through art. This piece invites viewers into an enchanting world where fauna comes alive on paper. It serves as a testament to both Digby's artistic talent and his commitment to documenting and appreciating Earth's diverse wildlife.
