EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 12: Zosterops palpebrosus, the Oriental White-eye (1858), watercolor painting by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her work "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous." This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this small, vibrant bird. The Oriental White-eye is a native of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a curved branch, its long, greyish-brown back and wings contrasting beautifully with its brown belly and white underparts. The most striking feature of this bird is its large, curved, and bright orange-yellow bill, which is perfectly positioned to pluck nectar from the flowers of angiosperms, or flowering plants. The Oriental White-eye is a member of the Aves class and the Angiospermae division, which includes all modern birds and flowering plants. The painting captures the bird's anatomical details with remarkable accuracy, from its expressive, beady eyes to the delicate feathers on its wings and tail. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a renowned natural history artist of the nineteenth century, whose works were published in various ornithological and botanical journals. This illustration, created in 1858, is a testament to her exceptional talent and dedication to documenting the natural world.
