EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 22: Laughing Dove, Streptopelia senegalensis (Watercolor by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous, 1858) This exquisite watercolor illustration, Plate 22 from Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous, published in 1858, showcases the captivating beauty of the Laughing Dove, Streptopelia senegalensis. The bird is depicted in fine detail, perched gracefully on a mottled branch with its back turned towards the viewer. Its blue-grey plumage is contrasted by the pink hue of its belly, creating a stunning visual effect. The long, brown neck is adorned with intricate feather patterns, and the head turns slightly, revealing a distinctive, almost comical expression, hence the bird's common name. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a talented naturalist artist of the nineteenth century. Her work, which includes various bird species, showcases her exceptional skill in capturing the anatomy and character of her subjects. This illustration, in particular, is a testament to her artistic prowess and her dedication to accurately representing the natural world. The Laughing Dove is a member of the Columbidae family, which includes pigeons and doves. It is native to Africa and parts of Asia, and is known for its distinctive call, which sounds like a laugh or a chuckle. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural history of this fascinating bird species. This watercolor illustration is a valuable historical record of the Laughing Dove and a testament to the artistic talent of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn. It is a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations.
