EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 335. The Merops Capher, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable piece of art that combines watercolor and manuscript text. Measuring at an impressive size of 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. "The Merops Capher" is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby that features exquisite drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living creatures and preserved specimens found in museums such as the College and Dublin Society. In this particular image, we are treated to a stunning depiction of a grey bee eater perched on a branch with its long tail elegantly displayed. This avian beauty belongs to the meropidae family and can be found in Australia's diverse fauna. With its label carefully handwritten alongside the drawing, this artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insights into ornithology and zoology during Digby's time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art finder collection, admirers can now appreciate this extraordinary fusion of painting and manuscript firsthand without commercial use intentions being mentioned or associated with it.
