EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 43: Grey-breasted Prinia (Prinia hodgsonii), watercolor painting by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from her comprehensive work "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. This exquisite illustration showcases the Grey-breasted Prinia, a small, long-tailed passerine bird belonging to the Cisticolidae family. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a slender branch, displaying its distinctive greyish-brown back, long, pointed tail, and grey collar around its neck. The most striking feature of this bird is its grey breast, which contrasts beautifully with its brown head and brownish-olive belly. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy are rendered with remarkable precision and accuracy by Cockburn, highlighting her exceptional artistic skills. The Grey-breasted Prinia is a native of the Indian subcontinent and was first described by Brian Hodgson in 1836. This illustration is a testament to the rich avian biodiversity of the nineteenth century and the remarkable efforts of naturalists and artists to document and preserve it for future generations.
