EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of a turkey, taken from the Historia Animalium by Conrad Gesner in 1560. The artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy and was created by an unknown artist during the 16th century. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this magnificent bird, highlighting its vibrant feathers and distinctive features. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back to a time when explorers first discovered turkeys from America. The significance of this engraving lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its contribution to natural history. It serves as a testament to Gesner's groundbreaking work on animal classification and documentation during that era. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this historical masterpiece through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind the original engraving and the importance of documenting our natural world. As we admire this print, let us reflect on how far we have come since those early discoveries and appreciate the beauty and diversity found within nature itself.
