EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving depicts the Black-throated Magpie-Jay, Calocitta colliei, also known as Bernet's Magpie or Pica bernettii. The image is based on an illustration by H. Kearsley from a specimen housed in the British Museum. The Black-throated Magpie-Jay is a striking bird native to Mexico and Central America. It is characterized by its glossy black plumage, vibrant blue and green iridescence, and distinctive white wing patches. The bird's most notable feature is the white collar and black throat that give it its name. The Black-throated Magpie-Jay is a versatile and omnivorous bird, feeding on fruits, nuts, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates. It is known for its ability to mimic the calls of various other birds and animals, making it a popular subject in the study of bird vocalizations. This engraving is from Edward Griffiths' publication of "The Animal Kingdom" by the renowned French naturalist, Baron Georges Cuvier. Cuvier was a pioneering figure in the field of natural history, and his works were instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of zoology and comparative anatomy during the early 19th century. The publication of "The Animal Kingdom" marked a significant contribution to the scientific community, showcasing accurate and detailed illustrations of a wide range of animal species. The intricately handcoloured engraving captures the beauty and detail of the Black-throated Magpie-Jay, providing a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird species.
