EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10: Acridotheres fuscus, the Jungle Myna (1858), is a stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work, "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous." This beautiful piece showcases the intricate details of this passerine bird, a member of the family Sturnidae, also known as mynas. The Jungle Myna, with its long, slender body and distinctive head adorned with a prominent crest of feathers, is depicted perched gracefully on a branch. The rich, glossy black feathers of its body contrast sharply with the vibrant red coloration on its belly and the bright yellow eyes that gleam with intelligence. The bird's beak is long and curved, suited for its omnivorous diet. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished artist and naturalist, whose work during the 19th century significantly contributed to the scientific understanding of the avian world. Her meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy is evident in this illustration, which captures the essence of the Jungle Myna's appearance and character. The Jungle Myna is a native of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, thriving in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. This agile and adaptable bird is a popular addition to aviaries worldwide due to its attractive appearance and entertaining behavior. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the natural world and the remarkable creatures that inhabit it. The Jungle Myna's captivating presence and intriguing anatomy continue to fascinate ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike, making this work an essential addition to any collection of natural history illustrations.
