EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 28 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841) presents a captivating image of the Common Raven, Corvus corax. This majestic bird, a member of the Corvidae family, is depicted in meticulous detail, showcasing its anatomical features and distinctive characteristics. The Common Raven is an impressive avian species, with a large, powerful beak that is perfectly adapted for tearing flesh and crushing bones. Its beak, curved and hooked, is a testament to its role as a carrion feeder and scavenger, a vital part of the ecosystem. In this image, the raven's beak is open, revealing the sharp edges that are essential for its survival. The Common Raven is a large bird, with a wingspan of up to 7 feet and a body length of around 2 feet. It is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the class Mammalia, order Artiodactyla, family Bovidae, subfamily Caprinae, and order Eutheria. However, unlike other members of these families, the Common Raven is a bird, not a mammal. MacGillivray's watercolor captures the Common Raven in its daytime habitat, perched on a rocky outcrop with a dead animal in the background. Ravens are opportunistic feeders and will consume a wide range of food, including carrion, fruits, and grains. They are also known to raid nests and steal food from other birds. This stunning watercolor is a testament to MacGillivray's skill as an ornithological artist, capturing the essence of the Common Raven with remarkable accuracy and detail. The image provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird, offering a window into the world of avian anatomy and behavior. With its intricate details and captivating subject matter, Plate 28 from MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals is a must-have for any ornithological collection.
