EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 31: Pelargopsis capensis, the Stork-billed Kingfisher, depicted in an exquisite 18th century painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere from the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants. This stunning illustration, created between 1754 and 1757, showcases the intricate anatomy of this striking bird with remarkable detail. The Pelargopsis capensis, also known as the River Kingfisher or the Malachite Kingfisher, is a medium-sized bird belonging to the Ciconiiformes order and the Alcedinidae family. It is native to the African continent, and can be identified by its distinctive long, decurved beak, which is both blue and red in color. The upper parts of the bird are a deep blue, while the underparts are a vibrant red. The Pelargopsis capensis is a skilled hunter, perching on the bank of a river or overhanging water to wait for prey, which it catches by plunging headfirst into the water. This beautiful illustration, produced by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere between 1710 and 1789, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past and the meticulous observation and documentation of the natural history of the 18th century. Joan Gideon Loten, the collector, amassed a remarkable collection of natural history illustrations, which were produced by some of the most skilled artists of the time. This illustration, like all the others in the collection, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the dedication of those who sought to document it.
