EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts an African Collared-Dove (Streptopelia roseogrisea risoria, also known as Turtur risorius), with a distinctive ringed band around its neck. The dove is shown perched on a branch against a lush, green background. The intricate details of the dove's feathers and the delicate shading in the engraving bring the bird to life, making it a beautiful addition to any natural history collection. The African Collared-Dove is native to Africa and is a member of the pigeon family. It is characterized by the distinctive black and white collar around its neck, which helps to distinguish it from other dove species. The dove is a ground-feeder and feeds on seeds, fruits, and insects. It is a social bird and forms monogamous pairs that stay together for life. This engraving was created by Edward Lear, a renowned English artist, illustrator, and author, based on a specimen from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History in Leipzig, Germany. The gallery, known as the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, was a significant center for the study of natural history in the 19th century. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality standards of the gallery during that time. The African Collared-Dove is a fascinating and beautiful bird, and this hand-colored steel engraving is an excellent representation of its natural beauty. It is a valuable addition to any natural history collection and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Africa.
