EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the striking features of the Hair-crested Drongo, scientifically known as Dicrurus hottentottus. The Hair-crested Drongo, also referred to as the Crishna Crow or Krishna Rai, is a native bird of the Indian subcontinent and is renowned for its distinctive crest of black feathers. John Latham, a prominent English naturalist and ornithologist, meticulously drew and engraved this image as part of his comprehensive work, "A General History of Birds." Latham's dedication to accuracy and detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the Drongo's plumage, beak, and expressive eyes. The artist has captured the bird's dynamic pose, with its tail feathers spread out in a fan-like manner, adding to the overall sense of movement and vitality. The Hair-crested Drongo is a member of the Dicruridae family, which is characterized by their long, graduated tail feathers. These birds are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. They are also known for their distinctive call, which is a series of loud, raucous notes. This beautiful print is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the early ornithological community, and serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination that birds have held for naturalists and artists alike for centuries.
