EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 35: Ashy Woodswallow (Artamus fuscus), watercolor painting by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" (1858). This stunning illustration showcases the intricate details of this passerine bird, the Ashy Woodswallow, a member of the Artamidae family. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a curved branch, its long, grey head turned slightly towards its mauve-colored bill. The Ashy Woodswallow's face is adorned with a striking blue eye and a distinct blue patch behind it. Its body is covered in a mix of blue-grey feathers, with a hint of blue on its wings. The painting captures the anatomy of the bird with remarkable precision, from its curved beak to its long, slender legs. The illustration is a testament to the artistry of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, who meticulously painted this bird during the 19th century. The Ashy Woodswallow, also known as the Blue-faced Woodswallow, is a common bird found in Australia and New Guinea. This beautiful bird is a passerine, belonging to the order Passeriformes, and is known for its agile flight and distinctive coloration. This watercolor painting is a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations, providing a glimpse into the natural history of the past and the beauty of the avian world.
