EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 370. The Peacock, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text) captures the exquisite beauty of a male peacock in all its glory. This stunning print, created by Kenelm Henry Digby, showcases the vibrant and colorful plumage of the Indian peafowl with meticulous detail. The artwork is part of The Naturalists Companion, an illustrated manuscript that features drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. Digby's work accurately depicts these creatures from both living specimens and stuffed exhibits found in museums. In this particular piece, we see a side view of the majestic peacock with its tail feathers elegantly fanned out. The intricate patterns on each feather are delicately rendered through watercolor techniques. Its iridescent blue body contrasts beautifully against the surrounding background. This artwork is housed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. It serves as a testament to Australia's rich natural history and fauna diversity. As one gazes upon this image, they can't help but appreciate nature's artistry and marvel at the splendor of this iconic bird species. Whether you're an ornithology enthusiast or simply captivated by wildlife beauty, Page 370 offers a glimpse into Australia's avian wonders while showcasing Digby's skillful craftsmanship.
