EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Broad-tailed Shaker: A Feathered Delight from the Naturalists' Library" This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Broad-tailed Shaker, scientifically known as Columba tremula laticauda. Created by the skilled hands of William Lizars and Edward Lear, this masterpiece was published as part of Prideaux John Selby's seminal work, "Pigeons in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists' Library: Ornithology," published in Edinburgh in 1835. The Broad-tailed Shaker, also referred to as the Broadfan, Tailed Shaker, or Fancy Pigeon, is a striking avian species with a unique appearance. The bird is depicted in this engraving with its broad, fan-like tail feathers spread out in a magnificent display, giving it an elegant and regal appearance. The intricate details of the Broad-tailed Shaker's plumage are beautifully rendered, with delicate shading and vibrant colors that bring the bird to life. Edward Lear, the renowned English artist, created the original illustration that was then meticulously translated into a steel engraving by William Lizars. This process involved etching the image onto a steel plate, which was then inked and printed to create the final image. The hand-coloring added to the engraving further enhanced the detail and realism of the image, making it a true work of art. Prideaux John Selby's "Pigeons in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists' Library: Ornithology" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of various pigeon species. This Broad-tailed Shaker engraving is a testament to the high-quality production values and artistic skill of the time, making it a valuable historical artifact and a delight for bird enthusiasts and collectors alike.
