EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15 of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's exquisite watercolor series, "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," showcases the vibrant and intricately detailed plumage of the Acritillas indica icterica, commonly known as the yellow-browed bulbul. This Victorian-era illustration, created in 1858, captures the beauty and grace of this passerine bird as it perches confidently on a gnarled branch. The yellow-browed bulbul, a member of the Pycnonotidae family and the order Passeriformes, is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The bird's distinctive features include its yellow forehead, brown breast, and brown wings with black bars. The anatomy of the bird is rendered with remarkable accuracy, from the delicate feathers on its forehead to the intricate patterns on its breast. Cockburn's watercolor technique brings the bird to life, with the rich colors and textures of the feathers contrasting beautifully against the rough bark of the branch. The artist's skillful use of shading and highlighting creates a sense of depth and dimension, making the bird appear as if it could take flight at any moment. This illustration is a testament to the naturalistic artistry of the Victorian era and the fascination with the natural world during this time. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the watercolor make it a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological art or natural history. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prolific artist and illustrator, producing a large body of work during her career from 1829 to 1928. Her work was widely published and admired for its accuracy and beauty, making her a respected figure in the field of natural history illustration during the 19th century.
