EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly detailed and vibrant print showcases the Band-tailed Pigeon, Columba fasciata, as depicted in Plate 367 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America." The original double elephant folio, created between 1835 and 1838, is a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world. The plate was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Band-tailed Pigeon, a member of the Columbidae family, is easily recognizable by the distinctive band of white feathers encircling its neck. This pigeon is native to the western coast of North America and is often found in wooded areas. In this image, the bird is perched on a branch of a Cornus (dogwood) tree, its beady eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The pigeon's plumage is a rich blend of browns and greens, with iridescent purple and green sheen on its wings. The image captures the pigeon in its natural habitat, surrounded by the lush foliage of a flowering plant from the Cornaceae family, likely a dogwood. The intricate details of the bird's feathers, the textured bark of the tree, and the delicate petals of the flowering plant are all rendered with exquisite precision. The Band-tailed Pigeon is an asterid, a type of eudicot, and belongs to the Angiospermae, or flowering plants. The presence of berries on the tree suggests that this bird is likely feeding on the fruits of the Cornus tree. The print captures the bird in daytime, highlighting its striking features and the beauty of its natural surroundings. Overall, this print is a masterful work of art and a valuable contribution to the scientific record of North American birds. It continues to inspire awe and appreciation for the natural world and the intricacies of its inhabitants.
