EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the African Blue-Flycatcher, Elminia longicauda, also known as the Caerulean or Long-tailed Flycatcher. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Flycatchers, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1836. The illustration was created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, William Swainson. The African Blue-Flycatcher is a small, striking bird native to sub-Saharan Africa. Males and females exhibit distinct plumage, with the male sporting a brilliant blue-black back, wings, and tail, contrasting with its white underparts. The female, on the other hand, has a brown back and wings, with a pale belly and a blue-grey face. Both sexes have long, graduated tails and distinctive white eye-rings. This engraving showcases the intricate details of the African Blue-Flycatcher's plumage and anatomy. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the bird's feathers, beak, and eyes. The background features a lush, tropical landscape, further emphasizing the bird's natural habitat. The African Blue-Flycatcher is a common bird in its range, found in various habitats, including forests, savannas, and grasslands. It feeds primarily on insects, which it catches in mid-air while perched on exposed branches or in the open. This flycatcher is an essential component of the African avian community and a beloved subject of naturalists and birdwatchers alike.
