EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 7: Hypothymis azurea, the Black-naped Monarch or Blue Monarch Flycatcher, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work, "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Black-naped Monarch is a small, elegant bird belonging to the Monarch Flycatcher family (Monarchidae), order Passeriformes, and is native to the Indian subcontinent. This exquisite illustration captures the bird's vibrant azure-blue plumage, which covers most of its body except for the black nape and collar, giving it a striking appearance. The long, pointed wings and the slender, curved beak are also distinct features of this bird. The Black-naped Monarch is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its anatomical features in intricate detail. The artist's skillful use of watercolor paints brings out the intricacies of the bird's feathers, creating a lifelike representation. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn (1829-1928) was a prolific and accomplished artist, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects. Her work was widely admired during the 19th century and continues to be appreciated today for its scientific accuracy and artistic merit. This illustration of the Black-naped Monarch is a testament to her exceptional talent and her dedication to documenting the natural world around her.
