EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour illustration, Plate RZD010 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings, depicts the vibrant Cissa sp. or the Asian Fairy Bluebird, a passerine bird belonging to the Corvidae family. The illustration, created in the nineteenth century, captures the bird perched gracefully on a moss-covered stump, surrounded by lush greenery. John Reeves (1774-1853), a British surgeon and naturalist, created this illustration during his time in Canton, China. Reeves was an accomplished artist and made significant contributions to the field of zoological illustration during the 19th century. His meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of the natural world are evident in this image. The Cissa sp. is a sauropsid, a group of animals that includes reptiles and birds. This bird is a member of the Passeriformes order, which includes over half of all known bird species. The Corvidae family, to which the Cissa sp. belongs, includes crows, jays, magpies, and ravens. The Asian Fairy Bluebird is known for its iridescent blue plumage, which is particularly prominent in the male. The bird's distinctive features, including its long, curved beak and bright eyes, are beautifully rendered in this illustration. The lush greenery and intricate details of the stump add depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the artistic skill and dedication of John Reeves. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the exploration and documentation of the natural world was a source of wonder and fascination.
