EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving depicts the Ruddy Quail-dove, Geotrygon montana, a captivating bird species native to Central and South America. The image is taken from Prideaux John Selby's volume "Pigeons" in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, published by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1835. The illustration was expertly crafted by the renowned artist Edward Lear, with the meticulous engraving executed by William Lizars. The Ruddy Quail-dove is a medium-sized bird, with a distinctive ruddy-brown coloration covering its body, head, and neck. Its plumage is adorned with intricate patterns of black and white spots, creating a stunning visual display. The bird's bill is short and curved, and its legs and feet are a pale pink color. This engraving offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Ruddy Quail-dove during the early 19th century. At the time, such detailed and accurate illustrations were essential for scientific research and documentation. The intricate workmanship of this print reflects the dedication and expertise of the artists and publishers involved in producing this volume. Today, the Ruddy Quail-dove remains an intriguing and beautiful species, with populations found in various regions of Central and South America. This engraving serves as a testament to the rich history of ornithology and the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world.
