EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 28 of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" (1858) features a stunning watercolor illustration of the Blue-faced Malkoha, scientifically known as Rhopodytes viridirostris. This beautiful bird, a member of the cuculidae family and the order Cuculiformes, is depicted perched gracefully on a branch with its distinctive blue face and long, grey back feathers on full display. The Blue-faced Malkoha, also known as the Blue-faced Coucal, is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. With its elongated, grey-brown body, long, pointed wings, and a striking blue face and throat, this bird is a sight to behold. Its beak, as suggested by the species name viridirostris, is also a vibrant green color. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished English artist and naturalist, known for her detailed and accurate illustrations of birds and other animals. Her work was widely admired during the 19th century for its beauty and scientific accuracy. This illustration of the Blue-faced Malkoha is a prime example of her skill and dedication to capturing the natural world in all its splendor. The Blue-faced Malkoha is a solitary bird that is often found near water, where it hunts for its prey, which includes insects, reptiles, and amphibians. It is a fascinating and intriguing creature, and this illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of this beautiful and elusive bird. This watercolor illustration is a testament to the artistry and natural history knowledge of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, and it remains an important contribution to the scientific record of the natural world. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy, the realistic portrayal of its plumage, and the naturalistic setting all combine to create a captivating and timeless work of art.
