EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Western crowned pigeon, also known as Goura cristata or Great crowned Indian pigeon. The exquisite illustration was created by William Hayes and is part of a collection called "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park" published in London in 1794. The Western crowned pigeon, with its regal appearance and vibrant plumage, is depicted in intricate detail. Its elegant feathers are beautifully captured through delicate brushstrokes, bringing this magnificent bird to life on paper. Sadly, the Western crowned pigeon is classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting. This print serves not only as a stunning work of art but also as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these remarkable creatures. William Hayes' talent shines through his ability to capture the essence and beauty of this rare bird species. His skillful use of colour adds depth and dimension to every feather, making it an exceptional example of ornithological artwork from the 18th century. This print offers viewers a glimpse into nature's wonders while highlighting our responsibility to preserve them for future generations. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and a call to action for environmental stewardship.
