Plate 19: Monticola solitarius, Blue Rock Thrush, watercolor painting by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaenea," published in 1858. The Blue Rock Thrush, also known as Monticola solitarius or the Malabar Blue-winged Flycatcher, is a passerine bird belonging to the Muscicapidae family. This stunning illustration showcases the bird's intricate anatomy, with its blue-spotted breasts and throat contrasting against its brown back and wings. The Blue Rock Thrush is a resident of rocky and mountainous regions, making it perfectly at home perched on the edge of a crag, as depicted in this artwork. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished English natural history illustrator, active during the 19th century. Her work, which includes over 200 watercolor paintings of birds and other animals, is renowned for its meticulous detail and lifelike accuracy. This particular illustration of the Blue Rock Thrush was likely created between 1829 and 1858, during the height of Cockburn's career. The Sauropsida order, to which birds belong, and the Passeriformes order, which includes perching birds, are both represented in this beautiful artwork. The Blue Rock Thrush is a fascinating creature, with a unique appearance and a distinct habitat. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural world of the past, offering a window into the intricacies of avian anatomy and the beauty of the Blue Rock Thrush. Cockburn's artwork remains a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the 19th century, and continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world today.
