EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 21: Spotted-necked Dove (Streptopelia chinensis), watercolor painting by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from her comprehensive work "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this beautiful bird species, with its pink body, brown back, and long, brown neck adorned with distinctive black spots. The dove is perched gracefully on a branch, turning its head slightly to reveal a bright, orange-yellow eye. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a renowned British naturalist and artist, who dedicated her life to documenting the avian species of India during the 19th century. Her meticulous observations and exceptional artistic abilities resulted in a stunning collection of watercolor paintings, which were published in several works, including "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous." The Spotted-necked Dove, also known as the Chinese Spotted Dove or Indian Spotted Dove, is a member of the Columbidae family, which includes pigeons and doves. This bird is native to Asia, and its distinctive spotted neck is a unique feature that sets it apart from other dove species. The Sauropsida class, to which birds belong, and the order Columbiformes, which includes doves, are depicted in this illustration, highlighting the avian anatomy and its place in the broader classification of animals. This watercolor painting not only showcases the beauty of the Spotted-necked Dove but also serves as an important historical record of this fascinating species, providing a glimpse into the natural history of India during the 19th century.
