EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print depicts an old male Asian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi), a vibrant and intriguing bird native to the Indian subcontinent. The painting is an original work by the renowned English naturalist and illustrator, Samuel Richard Tickell (c.1809-1875). The artwork is believed to have been created around 1848, as indicated by the dates and collection details provided. Tickell's meticulous illustration captures the bird's striking features, from its iridescent green and blue plumage to its distinctive long, curved tail feathers. In this particular depiction, the bird is shown in a side view, revealing the intricate details of its feathers and the subtle textures of its body. This watercolor is part of a larger set of volumes on Indian birds that were used as source material for Tickell's work on Indian mammals and other animals. The illustrations were produced for the Library of the Zoological Society of London, showcasing Tickell's exceptional skill and dedication to documenting the natural world. The Asian Paradise Flycatcher is a member of the monarchidae family, also known as flycatchers, and is native to the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and the Eastern Himalayas. These birds are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve the male's vibrant plumage and acrobatic flight patterns. This historical watercolor print offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Asian Paradise Flycatcher and the remarkable work of Samuel Richard Tickell, whose contributions to ornithology continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
