EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, number 16 of 61 in Lady Mary Bentinck's collection of avian depictions from the Himalaya Mountains, showcases the elusive Nightjar species (Caprimulgus sp.) of the Caprimulgidae family. Dated 1833, this Sauropsida work of art is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the avian world found in the Himalayas during the early 19th century. Lady Mary Bentinck (1800-1851), an Englishwoman of Indian origin, was a prominent figure in colonial India during the British Raj. She was known for her love of natural history and amassed an impressive collection of birds, which she meticulously documented and had illustrated by local artists. This collection is now housed in the Library & Archives at India Office Records, London. The Nightjar, also known as the Goatsucker, is a nocturnal bird belonging to the Caprimulgiformes order. Its cryptic plumage allows it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, making it a challenging bird to spot. The artist has captured the bird's distinctive features, including its large, round eyes, short, broad wings, and long, pointed beak. The watercolor technique used in this illustration highlights the intricate details of the Nightjar's feathers, creating a stunning visual representation of this elusive bird. The artist's skillful use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the artwork, making it a captivating addition to Lady Mary Bentinck's extensive collection. This historical illustration provides a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Himalayas and the avian species that once inhabited the region. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
