EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and pencil illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (Bycanistes brevis), a striking bird species native to Africa. Painted by the renowned ornithological artist, Claude Gibney Finch-Davies, in 1940, this illustration is a testament to Finch-Davies' masterful skill and dedication to the art of ornithology. The Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, one of the twenty-three hornbill species found in Africa, is characterized by its long, large, and distinctive horn-like casque on its bright red, elongated bill. The bird's rump is a striking contrast in color, a deep blue-black, while its body is predominantly black with iridescent green and purple feathers on its wings and tail. The bird's face is adorned with silvery-white feathers, giving it the common name 'Silvery-cheeked.' In this illustration, the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its head turned slightly to one side, revealing the intricacies of its anatomy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the bird's bone structure, particularly the casque on its bill. The illustration also highlights the bird's long, curved claws, which are perfect for gripping branches and climbing trees. As a member of the Bucerotiformes order and the Bucerotidae family, the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill is a sauropsid, a group of reptile-descended vertebrates that includes birds and reptiles. The illustration serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Africa and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through art and science.
