Plate 41: Houbaropsis bengalensis, Bengal Florican - A Striking Nineteenth Century Illustration by Rajman Singh from Brian Hodgson's Collection of Birds and Mammals of Nepal This watercolour painting, Plate 41, showcases the Bengal Florican, Houbaropsis bengalensis, a rare and elusive bird species native to the Asian subcontinent. The illustration was meticulously created by the skilled artist Rajman Singh during the 1800-1894 timeframe, as part of the extensive collection of birds and mammals compiled by Brian Houghton Hodgson in Nepal. The Bengal Florican is a member of the Otididae family, also known as bustards. This medium-sized bird is characterized by its mottled brown plumage, long neck, and distinctive head with a prominent crest. The florican's belly is adorned with intricate, fine feather patterns that add to its allure. Bengal Floricans are endemic to the Indian subcontinent, with their habitat primarily consisting of dry grasslands and savannas. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, this species is currently classified as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This stunning watercolour painting by Rajman Singh provides a unique glimpse into the natural history of the Bengal Florican during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the illustration serve as a testament to the artist's skill and the meticulousness of the taxidermic practices of the time. Brian Hodgson's collection, which includes this illustration, is a valuable resource for ornithologists, natural historians, and anyone interested in the natural history of Nepal and the Indian subcontinent during the 19th century. The collection is now housed in various museums and institutions, allowing us to appreciate and learn from the rich biodiversity of the region.
