EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Turbit pigeon, a beautiful bird known for its distinct features. Handcoloured by Edward Donovan, an accomplished artist and engraver, this copperplate drawing is part of his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds". Edward Donovan was not only a talented zoologist but also a passionate writer who dedicated his life to studying and documenting various species. His love for nature led him to open his own museum of natural history in London, where he displayed his extensive collection. However, despite his success during his lifetime, Donovan's story took a tragic turn as he faced financial difficulties later on. Sadly, he passed away penniless. Nevertheless, through works like this handcoloured copperplate drawing of the Turbit pigeon, Donovan's legacy lives on. The intricate details captured in this artwork allow us to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of this particular breed of pigeon. The vibrant colors bring the image to life and highlight its graceful form. As we admire this print today, let it serve as a reminder not only of the remarkable talent possessed by individuals like Edward Donovan but also as an homage to all those who dedicate their lives to preserving our natural world through art and science.
