EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 23" of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" (1858) features a stunning watercolor illustration of the Malabar Parakeet, scientifically known as Psittacula columboides. The parakeet is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its vibrant blue and green plumage standing out against the mauve background. The bird's long, curved beak, adorned with a distinct hook at the tip, is open slightly, revealing the pink interior. The Malabar Parakeet's face is characterized by its bright, expressive eyes and the distinctive mauve collar encircling its neck. This beautiful illustration, painted by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn in the nineteenth century, provides a detailed anatomical representation of the bird. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered feathers, the textured branch, and the lifelike quality of the bird's features. The Malabar Parakeet is a native of South India and Sri Lanka, and is known for its long, slender body and the distinctive blue and green coloration of its wings. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a renowned natural history illustrator of her time, and her work was highly regarded for its accuracy and artistic merit. This illustration of the Malabar Parakeet is a testament to her skill and dedication to capturing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world. The illustration is a valuable historical record of the Malabar Parakeet, and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and scientific significance over 160 years after it was first published. The Malabar Parakeet remains an iconic species of the Indian subcontinent, and continues to be a popular subject of study and conservation efforts due to its unique beauty and cultural significance. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage of the region, and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
