EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Crowned Pigeon" takes us back to the mid-19th century when Reverend Francis Orpen Morris published his renowned work, Bible Natural History. The image showcases a stunning blue Crowned Pigeon in profile, standing tall and proud. What makes this photograph truly remarkable is its fusion of religion and science. As an eccentric concept for its time, Reverend Morris sought to explore the natural world mentioned in the Holy Scriptures through ornithology and other scientific disciplines. This unique blend of Christianity and natural history is beautifully captured in this portrait. The regal presence of the Crowned Pigeon symbolizes both grace and divinity. Its vibrant coloration adds an element of mystique to this unusual bird species that holds religious significance for many cultures around the world. Through this photo print, we are transported into a bygone era where exploration of biblical references intertwined with scientific curiosity. It serves as a testament to human fascination with nature's wonders and our quest for knowledge. As we gaze upon this side view of the Crowned Pigeon, we can't help but appreciate how artistry meets spirituality within one frame. This piece from 1856 reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were driven by their desire to understand the intricate connections between faith and nature—a pursuit that continues to inspire us today.
