EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Stock Dove, or Columba oenas, a native bird species of Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. The image is a masterpiece from Edward Donovan's Natural History of British Birds, published in London between 1794 and 1819. Donovan, an accomplished artist and ornithologist, meticulously drew and engraved this work himself, resulting in a highly detailed and accurate representation of the Stock Dove. The Stock Dove is a medium-sized bird with a plump body and a distinctive appearance. The male and female have similar plumage, which is predominantly gray-brown with iridescent green and purple sheens. Their wings have black bars, and their faces are adorned with white eye rings and red legs. This species is named for its habit of roosting and feeding on the ground, often in stockades or enclosures. The Stock Dove is an important game bird and has been a subject of interest for ornithologists and naturalists for centuries. Donovan's Natural History of British Birds was one of the most comprehensive works on the birds of Britain during his time, featuring high-quality illustrations of over 500 species. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print are a testament to Donovan's skill and dedication to his craft. This historical artwork not only showcases the beauty of the Stock Dove but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of ornithology during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The intricate copperplate engraving and hand-coloring techniques used in this print have stood the test of time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or bird-related art.
