EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 55: Tyrannus tyrannus, the Eastern Kingbird, is depicted in this stunning hand-coloured etching from The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731-43) by Mark Catesby. The Eastern Kingbird, a native of the eastern United States and the Caribbean, is a medium-sized bird belonging to the Tyrannidae family. This regal avian is shown perched boldly on a branch, its sharp, hooked beak poised to strike an unsuspecting arthropod. The intricate details of the Eastern Kingbird's anatomy are beautifully rendered, from its distinctive crest and broad, flat head to its long, slender legs and tail. The historical significance of this plate lies in its creation during the 18th century, a time when European naturalists were just beginning to explore and document the natural wonders of the New World. Catesby's meticulous observations and illustrations were groundbreaking in their accuracy and detail, making this work an invaluable resource for ornithology and natural history. The Eastern Kingbird is shown here in its hunting stance, with a hexapod (six-legged arthropod) in its beak, demonstrating its role as a predator in its ecosystem. The plate also highlights the intricate textures and patterns of the Eastern Kingbird's plumage, from the glossy black feathers on its back and wings to the rusty-brown hue on its belly. Overall, this exquisite etching is a testament to Catesby's artistic skill and his dedication to documenting the natural world around him.
