EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving depicts the African Lemon-dove, Columba larvata, a native bird of Africa. The image was created by the renowned Scottish engraver, William Lizars, based on an illustration by the celebrated English artist, Edward Lear. The engraving is taken from Prideaux John Selby's volume "Pigeons" in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1835. The African Lemon-dove is a beautiful and distinctive bird, with its predominantly grey plumage contrasted by bright yellow patches on its wings and tail. This species is native to sub-Saharan Africa, and can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, savannas, and grasslands. They are omnivorous birds, feeding on seeds, fruits, and insects. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this handcolored steel engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The meticulous attention to the African Lemon-dove's feathers, beak, and eyes is a marvel to behold. The engraving also includes a Latin inscription at the bottom, which reads "Columba Larvata, Selb. Pigeon du Cap," further attesting to its historical significance. This engraving is a valuable addition to any collection of historical ornithology, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the African avian world during the 19th century. The collaboration between Selby, Lizars, and Lear resulted in a stunning visual representation of the African Lemon-dove, which continues to captivate and inspire ornithologists and art lovers alike.
