EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 354. The Turtle Dove, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby, a remarkable piece of art housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Measuring 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this watercolor and manuscript text composition is part of "The Naturalists Companion" an illustrated manuscript created by Digby. "The Turtle Dove" painting beautifully captures the delicate features and intricate details of this avian species known as Streptopelia turtur or commonly referred to as a pigeon. With its pale cream plumage and elegant side view pose, the bird exudes grace and tranquility. Digby's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his accurate depiction of various fauna found in Australia, including birds, fish, reptiles, insects, and quadrupeds. His drawings are either based on living animals or stuffed specimens from prestigious museums such as the College Museum and Dublin Society. This extraordinary artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also contributes to our understanding of natural history through its ornithological significance. The handwritten labels add an authentic touch to the piece while providing valuable information about each subject depicted. As we admire this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a world where art meets science—a testament to Digby's dedication to preserving nature's wonders through his artistic talent and keen observation skills.
