EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 263. The Curlew, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at 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 watercolor and manuscript text combination that brings to life the beauty of this long-billed shorebird. With meticulous attention to detail, Digby's illustration captures the essence of this avian species with its mottled feathers and distinctively downcurved beak. Originally part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript by Digby, this piece offers suitable descriptions and drawings of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. The artist accurately copied these depictions from living creatures or stuffed specimens found in museums. The handwritten annotations add an extra layer of authenticity to the artwork as they provide valuable information about the curlew's characteristics and habitat. As a zoological illustration belonging to the scolopacidae family (waders), this painting serves as a testament to Australia's rich fauna diversity. Its presence in the Mitchell Library highlights its significance within Australian natural history studies. With its vibrant colors and intricate details meticulously captured on paper by Digby's skilled hand, "Page 263: The Curlew" is not only an exquisite work of art but also a valuable resource for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
