EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the majestic Great Blue Kingfisher, Alcedo hercules, a stunning bird from the Coraciiformes order and the Alcedinidae family. The illustration, created by an unknown artist during the 1830s or 1840s, is part of the esteemed Jardine Collection. The Great Blue Kingfisher is identified by its vibrant iridescent blue plumage, a striking contrast to its white underparts and black markings. The bird's elongated, powerful bill is a distinctive feature, perfectly adapted for its hunting prowess. Perched gracefully on a branch, the Great Blue Kingfisher exudes an air of regality and poise. Its piercing gaze and sharp foot, clad in bright yellow, are testament to its predatory nature. The Great Blue Kingfisher, also known as the Common Kingfisher in some regions, is a widespread bird found throughout the Old World, from Europe to the Pacific. This illustration provides a glimpse into the intricate anatomy of this remarkable bird, showcasing its intricate details and unique features. The illustration also highlights the importance of the Jardine Collection, which has preserved and documented the natural world for generations. The Great Blue Kingfisher is not to be confused with other similar species, such as the Blyth's Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) or the Eurasian Kingfisher (Alcedo ispida). This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the avian world and the importance of preserving and documenting these magnificent creatures for future generations to appreciate.
