EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Common Hill Myna: A Watercolor Drawing from the Himalayas, 1833" This exquisite watercolor drawing depicts the Common Hill Myna, Gracula religiosa, a native bird of the Indian subcontinent and a resident of the Himalaya Mountains. The artwork is part of a collection of 61 avian illustrations, created in 1833, belonging to Lady Mary Bentinck. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown. Lady Mary Bentinck (1800-1851), the wife of the then British Governor-General of India, Lord William Cavendish-Bentinck, was an ardent naturalist and a patron of the arts. Her passion for collecting natural specimens and documenting the flora and fauna of India led her to amass an impressive collection of watercolor drawings of birds from the Himalayas. The Common Hill Myna, also known as the Indian Hill Myna or the Jungle Myna, is a member of the starling family, Sturnidae, and the passerine order, Passeriformes. This bird is easily recognizable by its black plumage, long, curved beak, and distinctive crest. The Common Hill Myna is widely distributed across India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, thriving in various habitats, from forests to open country and even urban areas. This watercolor drawing showcases the intricate details of the Common Hill Myna's features, from its glossy black feathers to the delicate textures of its wings and the fine lines of its beak. The artist's skillful use of watercolor techniques adds depth and dimension to the artwork, making it a remarkable piece of historical significance. The drawing, with the Library & Archives reference Z88 f BEN and the date 1833, is a testament to the rich natural history of the Himalayas and the artistic talent that flourished during the British colonial era in India. It serves as an essential resource for ornithologists, historians, and art enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the past and the natural beauty of the Indian subcontinent.
