EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts the Red-billed Hornbill (Tockus erythrorhynchus), a striking bird belonging to the Bucerotidae family and the order Bucerotiformes, within the Sauropsida class. The Red-billed Hornbill, also known as the Northern Red-billed Hornbill, is native to sub-Saharan Africa. The bird in this painting is perched on a branch, showcasing its distinctive red bill and casqued head, which is a unique feature among hornbills. The side view of the bird provides a clear display of its bold plumage, featuring black and white feathers, with a red patch on the wings. The painting is the work of renowned British natural history artist, Claude Finch-Davies (1914-2005). Finch-Davies was a prolific artist, known for her meticulous attention to detail and exceptional skill in capturing the essence of her subjects. This watercolor painting is a testament to her talent and passion for the natural world. The history of this painting is as intriguing as the subject itself. It is part of a larger collection of watercolors created by Finch-Davies during her extensive travels throughout Africa in the mid-20th century. These paintings were originally commissioned by the British Museum for their ethnographic department, providing a valuable record of the natural history and cultural heritage of Africa during that era. Today, this painting serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Africa and the importance of preserving it for future generations. It also stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and importance of natural history art in documenting and celebrating the natural world.
