EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor plate, titled "Male Kestrel" or "Falco tinnunculus," is a beautiful example of the intricate and detailed work of English naturalist and artist, Samuel Richard Tickell. Created in approximately 1848, this artwork is part of a larger set of volumes related to Indian birds that were used as source material for the illustrated manuscript work on Indian mammals by Tickell, which was later published by the Zoological Society of London. The Male Kestrel, also known as the Common Kestrel or the Old World Kestrel, is a small falcon native to the Old World. Known for its distinctive plumage, with a slate-gray back and wings, rufous-brown belly, and black barring on its wings, the Kestrel is a popular bird among falconers and birdwatchers alike. Tickell's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate brushstrokes that bring the Kestrel's feathers to life, as well as the lifelike representation of its piercing yellow eyes and beak. The artist's skillful use of watercolor creates a sense of depth and texture, making the viewer feel as if they are observing the bird in its natural habitat. This watercolor plate is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the natural history of India during the mid-19th century. It is a testament to Tickell's dedication to documenting the natural world and his artistic talent in bringing these creatures to life through his illustrations. The plate is currently housed in the Natural History Museum's Zoology collection in London, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich biodiversity of our planet.
