#BirdManTickell One more of Tickells watercolours ... the Minla - pl click on the link - thks The Tickell Drawings Collection Tickell’s album of Indian birds consists of 41 watercolour paintings plus numerous vignettes in pen and ink, and separate anatomical sketches of beaks and legs in the manuscript notes. His birds are meticulously drawn and painted, as were those of many of his contemporaries, but Tickell’s stand out from most on account of the many original and interesting and varied landscapes that convey a real sense of Indian birdlife. Such attention to detail can only have been attempted by one who was truly dedicated to the study of natural history. Tickells delightful vignettes are a bonus in this album, depicting scenes of day to day life in rural areas of India such as people going about their work together with their animals on which they were so much dependent. Tickell had intended to publish an illustrated book of the birds of India, based on his own notes and paintings but this never materialised. nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/art-nature-imaging/collections/art-themes/india/more/paradise_more_info.htm# nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/art-nature-imaging/collections/art-themes/india/popups/minla_popup.htm
