1. Title: "Stock Dove or Stock Pigeon (Columba oenas): A Beautiful Depiction of a Timeless Bird from the Naturalists Library" This exquisite handcolored steel engraving, created by William Lizars after an illustration by Edward Lear, presents the enchanting image of a Stock Dove or Stock Pigeon (Columba oenas). The illustration is taken from Prideaux John Selby's esteemed work, "Pigeons," which was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1835 by W.H. Lizars. The Stock Dove, also known as the Stock Pigeon, is a common and widespread bird species native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. With its slender, elegant form and soft, mottled plumage, it is a captivating sight in the natural world. In this meticulously crafted engraving, the bird is depicted in a serene pose, perched on a branch against a backdrop of lush vegetation. Its gentle expression and the delicate feather details showcase the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. Edward Lear, a renowned English artist, created the original illustration for Selby's work. His naturalistic approach to bird painting, combined with the masterful engraving techniques of William Lizars, resulted in an exquisite and enduring representation of the Stock Dove. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of ornithological illustration and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This print not only showcases the Stock Dove but also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating connection to the world of natural history and the artistic achievements of the 19th century.
