EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 9: Dicrurus caerulescens, the White-bellied Drongo (1858), is a stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work, "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous." This exquisite artwork showcases the anatomical details of this intriguing passerine, a member of the Dicruridae family. The White-bellied Drongo, with its long, grey body and distinctive forked tail, is perched gracefully on a branch, displaying its long, grey breast and white belly. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished Victorian-era naturalist and artist, whose work was published during the 1829-1928 timeframe. Her meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illustration, which captures the essence of the White-bellied Drongo's natural beauty. The Sauropsida, a group of reptiles and birds, includes this avian species, which is classified as a Passeriformes, or perching bird. The White-bellied Drongo is a fascinating creature, known for its ability to mimic the calls of other birds, making it a skilled and adaptable member of its ecosystem. Its long, forked tail is not only an iconic feature of its appearance but also serves as a useful tool for balancing while perching and maneuvering in flight. This illustration not only showcases the natural history of this bird but also offers a glimpse into the artistic talent and dedication of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn during the 19th century.
