EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 409. The Whinchat, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the essence of natural history in exquisite detail. This print by Kenelm Henry Digby showcases a side view of the Whinchat, a passerine bird known for its distinctive markings and graceful demeanor. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed within the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Its label, handwritten with meticulous care, adds to its authenticity and charm. Digby's masterpiece is part of 'The Naturalists Companion, ' a comprehensive collection that features drawings accompanied by suitable descriptions of various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations are meticulously copied from both living animals and stuffed specimens found in renowned museums such as those belonging to College and Dublin Society. With its focus on avian fauna specifically, this piece contributes greatly to ornithology studies. The Whinchat itself belongs to the Saxicola rubetra species within the Muscicapidae family. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Australia's rich biodiversity but also highlights Digby's skill as an illustrator capturing nature's wonders with precision and artistry. Displayed alongside other antiquities and natural productions contained in these esteemed museums further enhances its significance as a valuable historical document.
