A Grand Display of Plumed Abundance - A 17th Century Turkish Tableau of Johnstone Turkeys This exquisite print, dated circa 1650, showcases a grand tableau of Johnstone Turkeys, an ancient breed of turkeys believed to have originated in Europe. The image, titled "Turkey, or Meleagris Gallopavo," is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the 17th century. The central focus of the print is a magnificent, fully-feathered Johnstone Tom Turkey, proudly displaying its vibrant plumage and distinctive wattles. Surrounding the Tom are several hens, their feathers a mix of rich browns, golds, and reds. The birds are arranged in a meticulously composed tableau, with the Tom standing at the center, flanked by the hens. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the birds are a testament to the skill of the engraver. The feathers are rendered with remarkable accuracy, each one distinctly defined, creating a textured and tactile effect. The background is simple, with a subtle, textured pattern that allows the birds to take center stage. The Johnstone Turkeys in this print are named after the 16th-century Scottish laird, Johnstone of Warriston, who is believed to have imported the birds from the Americas. The breed was highly prized for its rich, succulent meat and its distinctive appearance. The birds were often displayed in grand tableaus like this one, a symbol of wealth and status. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 17th-century Turkey farming and the role these birds played in the lives of the wealthy elite. It is a beautiful and intriguing reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of these magnificent birds.
