EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 91 of the Loten Collection presents a captivating illustration of the Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris, also known as the mocking cliffchat or slaty-legged crake (Rallina eurizonoides). This exquisite painting, created by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere around 1754-57, showcases the intricate details of this intriguing bird's anatomy. The Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris is a sauropsid, belonging to the Aves order and the Gruiformes family, specifically the Rallidae. This bird is characterized by its long, red legs, which contrast sharply with its slate-gray body and head. The mocking cliffchat is a small bird, with a long, pointed head and a distinctive, upturned beak. Its belly is adorned with fine, red feathers, adding a pop of color to its otherwise muted appearance. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a Flemish artist born in 1710, was a renowned naturalist and illustrator of his time. His meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistic skill are evident in this illustration. The painting captures the essence of the Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this fascinating creature from the 18th century. The Loten Collection, curated by Joan Gideon Loten, is a valuable archive of natural history illustrations. This collection, which includes birds, mammals, insects, and plants, provides us with a glimpse into the natural world as it was understood during the 18th century. The Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris, depicted in Plate 91, is a testament to the importance of natural history illustrations in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
