EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 6: Pycnonotus cafer, the Red-vented Bulbul, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work "Neilgherry birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Red-vented Bulbul is a passerine bird belonging to the Pycnonotidae family and the Passeriformes order. This small, long-tailed bird is native to South Asia, specifically in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The bird in this illustration is perched gracefully on a branch, displaying its distinctive pink crest and red vent. The brown and pink feathers of the Red-vented Bulbul are intricately detailed, showcasing Cockburn's exceptional skill as a watercolorist. The bird's beak is slightly open, suggesting that it might be in the process of eating. The Red-vented Bulbul is a joint species, meaning that it occurs in two distinct populations with no interbreeding between them. These populations are the Indian Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer cafer) and the Sri Lankan Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer hortulanus). This illustration is a testament to the rich natural history documentation of the nineteenth century, providing a glimpse into the avian world of the past. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's "Neilgherry birds and Miscellaneous" is an essential reference for ornithologists, naturalists, and anyone with an interest in the natural world. The Red-vented Bulbul remains a popular bird among birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, making this illustration a valuable addition to any collection.
