EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving depicts the Blue-capped Fruit Dove, Ptilinopus monacha, a near-threatened avian species native to the Pacific Islands. The engraving is taken from Prideaux John Selby's volume "Pigeons" in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1835. The illustration was created by the renowned English artist, Edward Lear. The Blue-capped Fruit Dove is a small, colorful pigeon with distinctive blue caps on its head and a cinnamon-colored breast. This species is found in the forests and woodlands of Fiji, Tonga, and other Pacific Islands. They feed primarily on fruit, especially figs, and play an essential role in the dispersal of seeds. The Blue-capped Fruit Dove was once considered abundant, but its population has declined significantly due to habitat loss, hunting, and other threats. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the species is now classified as near threatened. This beautiful handcolored steel engraving is a testament to the natural history artistry of the 19th century. The intricate details of the Blue-capped Fruit Dove's plumage and the delicate shading of the background are a testament to the skill of the engraver and the artist. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting its beauty for future generations.
