EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing lithograph, titled "Metatarsus and toes of the Dodo and Various Pigeons," is an exquisite illustration from "The Dodo and its Kindred," a natural history publication created by renowned ornithologists Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville, published in London by Reeve, Benham and Reeve in 1848. The illustration showcases the metatarsus and toes of several bird species, including the extinct dodo, Raphus cucullatus (1-5), and various pigeons: the yellow-footed green pigeon, Treron chlorigaster (6); stock dove, Columba oenas (7); and partridge pigeon, Geophaps smithii (8). The meticulous detail in this hand-colored lithograph allows for a close examination of the unique anatomical features of each bird's foot. The dodo, with its distinctive broad and stubby metatarsus, is contrasted with the more slender and agile toes of the pigeons. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the artists' skill but also provides valuable insights into the natural history of these fascinating birds.
