EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 69: The Spinifex Pigeon, Geophaps plumifera (Columbidae), a stunning hand-coloured lithograph by John and Elizabeth Gould from the fifth volume of their seminal work, "The Birds of Australia," published between 1840 and 1848. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this unique Australian bird, native to the arid regions of Western and Southern Australia. The Spinifex Pigeon, also known as the Spinifex Quail-Pigeon, is a member of the Columbidae family and is characterized by its long, slender legs and distinctive plumage. The male, depicted in this illustration, displays a rich chestnut-brown body with a white collar and black and white stripes on its neck. The female, with her softer, more muted colors, can be seen in the original uncolored lithograph. John Gould, a renowned English publisher and printmaker, and his wife Elizabeth, an accomplished artist, collaborated on this magnificent work, which was produced using the lithographic process. The intricacy and vibrancy of the hand-coloring are evident in the rich hues of the Spinifex Pigeon's plumage and the delicate shading of its feathers. The Spinifex Pigeon is often found in spinifex grasslands and other arid habitats, where it feeds on seeds, fruits, and flowers of various angiosperms, including those of the Commelinid family. This image captures the bird perched on a branch, its beady eyes focused intently on the ground below, perhaps in search of its next meal. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of John and Elizabeth Gould's work, which remains an essential resource for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts to this day.
