EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "The Ostrich Nest, East of Bembesi River," is an exquisite illustration from the extensive collection of original sketches created by John Thomas Baines during his expedition to Africa between 1859 and 1871. The drawing, identified as Sketch 55, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the late 19th century, specifically the habitat of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) in eastern Africa. Baines, a renowned English explorer and artist, meticulously captured the details of the ostrich nest, nestled in the arid landscape near the Bembesi River. The nest, a simple depression in the ground, is surrounded by a ring of pebbles and small stones, which the ostrich uses to camouflage the nest and deter predators. In the foreground, an ostrich, a large, flightless bird belonging to the ratite family and the only living member of the Struthionidae family, can be seen standing guard over its eggs. The ostrich, a sauropsid, is an ancient bird, with its lineage dating back to the Late Jurassic period. Its anatomy, characterized by its long neck, powerful legs, and small wings, is a testament to its evolutionary history. This drawing not only showcases the natural history of the ostrich but also provides valuable anthropological insights into the exploration and documentation of Africa during the 19th century. Baines' sketches, like this one, are invaluable resources for understanding the natural world and the human exploration of it during this period.
