EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 350. The Black Ouzel. Black Bird, 1810-17" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this exquisite piece can be found in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The artwork is part of "The Naturalists Companion" a comprehensive collection featuring drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. Created with meticulous attention to detail, these illustrations were either copied from living creatures or stuffed specimens found in renowned museums such as the College and Dublin Society. Kenelm Henry Digby's illustrated manuscript not only focuses on fauna but also includes depictions of antiquities and natural productions housed within those museums. This unique blend makes for a visually stunning exploration into the world of zoology. In this particular image, we are treated to an ornithological masterpiece depicting a blackbird belonging to the thrush family (Turdidae). Known as the Black Ouzel or black bird (Turdus merula), it exudes elegance with its glossy plumage contrasting against its vibrant orange-yellow bill. Originating from Australia's diverse wildlife landscape—specifically South Australia and West Australian regions—the blackbird represents one aspect of Australasia's rich avian population. With handwritten labels adding an authentic touch to this painting-drawing hybrid composition, viewers are transported back in time to witness nature through Digby's keen eye for detail. This remarkable print captures not only the beauty but also serves as a testament to mankind's fascination with documenting Earth's wonders throughout history.
