EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1: Megalaima viridis, the White-cheeked Barbet, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" publication of 1858. The White-cheeked Barbet is a small, long-tailed bird belonging to the Piciformes order, specifically the Megalaimidae family. This bird is characterized by its bright green plumage, grey wings, and distinctive white cheeks and brow line. The White-cheeked Barbet is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its long, curved beak and large, expressive eyes. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy are expertly rendered in this beautiful watercolor, providing a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prolific natural history illustrator active during the 19th century. Her work was published in various scientific and natural history publications, including "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," which was dedicated to documenting the birds of the Nilgiri Hills in southern India. The illustrations in this publication were produced between 1829 and 1858, providing an important record of the avian fauna of the region during this time period. The Sauropsida class, to which birds belong, was first recognized in the early 19th century, and the Piciformes order, which includes barbets, was established in the 1850s. The White-cheeked Barbet remains a common bird in its range, which extends from southern India to Southeast Asia, and continues to be an important subject of study for ornithologists and conservationists.
