EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 269. The Bernacle, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable piece of art that combines watercolor and manuscript text. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. "The Bernacle" is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby that features detailed drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. These illustrations were meticulously copied from both living creatures and stuffed specimens found in renowned museums such as the College Museum and Dublin Society. In this particular image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are presented with a side view of a fascinating aquatic bird known for its webbed feet - the Bernacle. The handwritten label adds to its charm while providing valuable information about this zoological illustration. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this painting transports us into the world of fauna exploration during the early 19th century. It serves as a testament to Digby's dedication to accurately representing nature's wonders through his artistic skills. As we admire this extraordinary artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection without commercial intent or mention thereof (as per instructions), it reminds us of Australia's rich natural history and highlights the importance of preserving our diverse wildlife for future generations to appreciate.
