EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Pigeons, 1833-39" showcases the exquisite beauty and diversity of pigeons in the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French artist from the School of Fine Arts during this period, it is now part of a private collection. The print originates from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" a renowned publication by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville. This comprehensive dictionary delves into various aspects of natural history and was published between 1833 and 1839. In this particular artwork, we are treated to three distinct pigeon species. The first is the ordinary Turkish Pigeon with its unique plumage patterns that add a touch of elegance to its appearance. Next, we have the golden-bay Swiss Pigeon, radiating warmth through its lustrous feathers. Lastly, there is the hybrid Bagadais Pigeon - a fascinating blend resulting in an intriguing mix of characteristics. The intricate details captured through this steel engraving technique bring these birds to life on paper. Each feather seems meticulously rendered with precision and care. As we admire this illustration today, let us appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also reflect on how our perception and understanding of these beautiful creatures may have evolved over time.
