EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 24 from John Gould's renowned work, "The Birds of Asia," Volume 1, showcases the captivating beauty of the Hemiprocne mystacea, also known as the Moustached Treeswift. This hand-coloured lithograph, created in the 19th century, offers a detailed and accurate representation of this enigmatic bird. The Hemiprocne mystacea is a small, slender bird belonging to the Apodidae family, which includes swifts and hummingbirds. With its iridescent blue-grey plumage, this bird is a striking sight against the brown branches of the trees it inhabits. The most distinctive feature of the Moustached Treeswift is its long, curved, and pointed bill, which gives it its alternative name of the Crested Swift. Its brow is adorned with a distinctive white stripe, adding to its unique appearance. This bird is a skilled flyer, using its long, forked tail and broad wings to maneuver through the air with ease. The Hemiprocne mystacea is found in various parts of Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. It is known to nest in tree crevices and feeds primarily on insects, which it catches in flight. The intricate anatomy of the Hemiprocne mystacea is beautifully captured in this lithograph, with particular attention paid to the details of its beak, eyes, and feathers. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This print is a testament to the skill and dedication of the naturalists and artists of the 19th century, who sought to document and preserve the natural world for future generations.
