EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 400. The Pee, wit, or Lapwing, 1810-17 (w/c & manuscript text)" by Kenelm Henry Digby. Measuring at an impressive 39.6x25.2x5.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the Mitchell Library of the State Library of New South Wales. The image features a painting with handwritten manuscript text alongside it, creating a unique blend of art and scientific documentation. This piece is part of "The Naturalists Companion" which encompasses drawings and descriptions of various animals, including quadrupeds, birds, fishes, serpents, and insects. The focus here is on the Pee bird or Lapwing (vanellus vanellus), also known as the Green Plover due to its vibrant plumage. Its long crest adds an element of elegance to its appearance as captured in this side view depiction. Digby's meticulous attention to detail shines through in his accurate portrayal of this avian species found in Australia and Oceania regions such as South Australia and West Australia. His illustrations are derived from both living animals and specimens preserved in museums associated with College and Dublin Society. This print not only offers a glimpse into the world of ornithology but also provides insight into historical natural history collections held within prestigious institutions like the Mitchell Library. It serves as a testament to Digby's dedication to capturing nature's beauty while preserving knowledge for generations to come.
