EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the beauty and diversity of four unique pigeon species, each with its own story to tell. The Tooth billed pigeon, Didunculus strigirostris, is depicted here as critically endangered, a reminder of the fragility of our natural world. Bruce's green pigeon, Treron waalia, stands out with its vibrant plumage and striking presence.
Levaillant's dove, Verrulia carunculata, sadly now extinct, serves as a poignant symbol of the consequences of human impact on wildlife. Finally, the squatter pigeon leg Geophaps scripta adds a touch of whimsy to this composition.
Created by Tuffen West for Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's The Dodo and its Kindred in 1848, this lithograph is not just a work of art but also a historical record of these fascinating bird species. Each detail meticulously rendered by hand speaks volumes about the dedication and skill of the artist.
As we gaze upon this image today, let us reflect on the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species like the Tooth billed pigeon and learn from past mistakes that led to the extinction of Levaillant's dove. May this artwork serve as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to preserve biodiversity for future generations to come.
