EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 39 from Louis-Isidore Duperrey's "Voyage de la Coquille" (1822-1825) Zoologie Atlas (1826) showcases the captivating beauty of the Banded Imperial Pigeon, scientifically known as Ducula zoeae. This historical illustration, drawn during Duperrey's voyage to Chile, Peru, Polynesia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, depicts the pigeon perched gracefully on a mauve and grey branch. The imperial pigeon's blue-tinged plumage shines brilliantly against the brown background, with a distinct band of mauve feathers encircling its belly. Duperrey's expedition was a significant contribution to the scientific community during the 19th century, documenting various species discovered during their travels. This illustration, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the meticulous detail and accuracy that characterized the zoological records of the time. The imperial pigeon, a member of the Columbidae family, is native to the Pacific Islands and is known for its striking appearance and distinctive call. The Banded Imperial Pigeon is a cherished addition to any collection of historical ornithological records. This exquisite illustration, with its rich colors and intricate detail, transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the natural world as it was documented during a time of great exploration and discovery.
