EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Drawing 19 of the Botanical and Zoological Drawings, 1756-1788 by the renowned American naturalist and explorer, William Bartram. The original artwork is held in the esteemed Natural History Museum in London. The illustration showcases an idyllic scene from the 18th century, featuring a Flycatcher perched on a branch, observing its surroundings intently. The Flycatcher, a passerine bird belonging to the family Motacillidae, is known for its agile hunting skills, catching insects mid-air with a swift, precise swoop. In the foreground, a cluster of Ericaceae plants, including the Elliottia and the Purple Malve, add a burst of vibrant color to the scene. These flowering plants, also known as heaths and heathers, are dicotyledonous angiosperms, belonging to the order Ericales and the class Magnoliophyta. The Ericaceae family is characterized by their small, often bell-shaped flowers and their ability to thrive in acidic soils. The illustration also features a Pipit, a small, brown bird with a short, straight bill, sitting on the ground nearby. Pipits are passerine birds belonging to the family Motacillidae, and are known for their distinctive call and their preference for open, grassy habitats. This enchanting drawing is a testament to Bartram's keen observation skills and his ability to capture the beauty and diversity of the natural world around him. The scene is set in the daytime, with the sun casting dappled light through the leaves and illuminating the intricate details of the plants and animals. The Asterid clade, to which both the Ericaceae and the Passeriformes belong, is a large and diverse group of eudicotyledonous angiosperms and flowering plants, respectively. This drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the 18th century and the rich biodiversity of the American continent.
