The Victoria crowned pigeon, with its majestic head portrait, is a vulnerable species that captivates the hearts of many. Found in captivity and known for its stunning beauty, this bird is truly a sight to behold. On the other hand, the Western crowned pigeon from Aiduma Island in Triton Bay near mainland New Guinea showcases its regal presence. A lithograph published in 1882 immortalizes this magnificent creature, also known as Krontauben. With vibrant colors captured in chromolitho prints like "Crowned Pigeon" and "Beautiful, foreign pigeons, " these engravings bring out the allure of these birds. In a colored litho titled "Columbae, Gallinae, Pigeons and Quail, " we witness their unique place among avian species. Dating back to 1850 or 1856, an engraving from The Pictorial Museum of Animated Nature portrays the elegance of the Crowned Pigeon (Goura). Its intricate details make it even more captivating. Once again featuring the Western crowned pigeon from Aiduma Island near mainland New Guinea, this time captured through lenses rather than illustrations. These photographs showcase Goura cristata's natural habitat and emphasize their importance as part of our ecosystem. Whether depicted through ancient lithographs or modern-day photography, one thing remains certain: they are extraordinary creatures deserving admiration and protection.
