EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 53: Halcyon smyrnensis, the White-throated Kingfisher, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. Cockburn's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the bird's vibrant plumage, with its iridescent blue back and wings, long, red bill, and distinctive white throat. The kingfisher is perched gracefully on a slender branch, its anatomy showcased in all its glory, with its long, pointed breast and short, rounded tail. The White-throated Kingfisher, also known as the River Kingfisher or the Common Kingfisher, is a member of the Coraciiformes order, within the Alcedinidae family. This bird is native to the Old World, with a wide distribution across Africa, Asia, and southern Europe. The White-throated Kingfisher is a sauropsid, meaning it is a reptile or bird descended from the ancient reptile stock. This illustration is a testament to the naturalistic artistry of the nineteenth century, providing a glimpse into the avian world of over 160 years ago. The White-throated Kingfisher remains a popular subject for birdwatchers and naturalists, and this illustration continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite detail and beauty.
