EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8: Motacilla maderaspatensis, the White-browed Wagtail, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" published in 1858. The White-browed Wagtail is a small, long-tailed bird belonging to the Motacillidae family and the Passeriformes order, which makes it a passerine bird. This avian species is native to South Asia, particularly in the eastern Himalayas and southern China. The White-browed Wagtail is characterized by its distinctive white eyebrow, which gives it its name. It has a yellow belly, a long tail with white tips, and a brown stripe running down its back. The bird in this illustration is perched on a rock, showcasing its anatomy in detail. Its beak is long and curved, suitable for catching insects, its primary source of food. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished artist and naturalist. She was born in 1829 and died in 1928, and her work is considered an essential contribution to the ornithological record of the nineteenth century. Her illustrations were produced during a time when the study of birds was a popular pastime among the European elite, and her attention to detail and accuracy made her work highly sought after. The White-browed Wagtail is a fascinating example of the diverse range of birds that can be found in the Sauropsida class, which includes reptiles and birds. Its intricate anatomy and striking appearance make it a favorite among bird enthusiasts and collectors of natural history illustrations.
