EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Buru Green Pigeon (Treron aromaticus): A Victorian-Era Masterpiece from the Naturalists' Library" This exquisite handcolored steel engraving showcases the Buru Green Pigeon (Treron aromaticus), a captivating avian species native to the Buru and Seram Islands in the Maluku region of Indonesia. The image is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the Victorian-era, created by the renowned Scottish engraver William Lizars based on an illustration by the celebrated English artist Edward Lear. The Buru Green Pigeon, also known as the Aromatic Vinago or the Olive-green Pigeon, is depicted in this engraving with stunning detail. The vibrant green plumage, the delicate quills, and the intricate patterns on the wings and tail are beautifully rendered, inviting the viewer to appreciate the natural beauty of this bird. This engraving is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1835. Sir William Jardine was a Scottish surgeon, naturalist, and collector, who amassed an extensive collection of natural history specimens from around the world. The publication of this ornithological work was a significant contribution to the scientific community, documenting various bird species for posterity. Edward Lear, the illustrator of this engraving, was a renowned artist, best known for his literary nonsense works, including the "Book of Nonsense" series. However, his illustrations for scientific works, such as this one, showcase his versatility and attention to detail. This handcolored steel engraving is a precious historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the natural history of the Buru Green Pigeon and the Victorian-era's fascination with documenting and preserving the natural world.
