EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 19: Chrysococcyx caprius, Diederik Cuckoo This exquisite watercolor painting is Plate 19 from a bound volume of original watercolor drawings and pencil sketches of birds completed for the renowned Scottish naturalist and publisher, William Jardine (1800-1874). The artist behind this masterpiece was Mrs Susan Catherine Fenwick (nee Murray) (1810-1891), a talented Scottish painter and illustrator of the Victorian era. The subject of this painting is the Diederik Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx caprius), a small, inconspicuous cuckoo species native to Africa. The bird is depicted with remarkable detail and accuracy, showcasing Mrs. Fenwick's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of avian anatomy and plumage. The Diederik Cuckoo is shown perched on a branch, its distinctive black and white plumage contrasting against the lush green foliage. The watercolor technique used by Mrs. Fenwick brings the Diederik Cuckoo to life, with the vibrant colors and fluid brushstrokes creating a sense of depth and texture. The background features intricate details of the African landscape, further emphasizing the bird's natural habitat. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the rich history of natural history art and the dedication of artists and collectors like William Jardine and Susan Catherine Fenwick. Their work continues to inspire and educate us about the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
