EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26: Columba elphinstonii, or the Nilgiri Woodpigeon, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work, "Neilgherry birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Victorian-era artist expertly captures the intricate details of this beautiful blue and striped bird, showcasing its long neck and distinctive plumage. The Nilgiri Woodpigeon, a member of the Columbidae family, is native to the Nilgiri Hills in South India and is known for its elusive nature. The bird is perched gracefully on a branch, displaying its elegant form and anatomical features. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Sauropsida class, specifically the Avian subclass, Columbiformes, during the 19th century. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill have resulted in a timeless work that continues to captivate ornithologists, naturalists, and art enthusiasts alike. The Nilgiri Woodpigeon, with its unique appearance and allure, remains a fascinating subject for study and appreciation.
