EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Masked Water Tyrant, Fluvicola nengeta, also known as the Mocking Water-Chat. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Flycatchers. The illustration was created by the renowned natural history artist, William Swainson, and the engraving was expertly executed by William Lizars in Edinburgh in 1836. The Masked Water Tyrant is a small, agile bird native to South America, with a distinctive black mask covering its eyes and a bright orange bill. It is a member of the Tyrant Flycatcher family, and is known for its vocalizations, which resemble the calls of other birds, earning it the common name "mocking water-chat." The Masked Water Tyrant can be found near bodies of water, where it perches on low branches or overhead wires, waiting to ambush its prey. It feeds primarily on insects, which it catches in mid-air or snatches from the water's surface. This beautiful engraving not only showcases the intricate details of the Masked Water Tyrant's appearance but also captures the essence of its natural habitat. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century ornithological illustration.
