EDITORS COMMENTS
This mounted print showcases a stunning collection of Fancy Domestic Pigeons, a captivating avian group that once fascinated the naturalist Charles Darwin as he delved deeper into his groundbreaking theories on evolution through natural selection. These magnificent birds, belonging to the Columbidae family and specifically the Columba livia species, display an array of intriguing variations that set them apart from their wild counterparts, the Rock Pigeons (Columba livia). The Fancy Domestic Pigeons in this print include an Oriental Frill, Pouter, Blue, Pied, Red, and Long varieties. Each bird showcases unique features, such as the Oriental Frill's elaborate feathered collar, the Pouter's exaggerated waddle, and the Long's elongated tail. These birds were bred for their distinctive appearances, highlighting the remarkable diversity within the pigeon species. Darwin's fascination with these birds began in the mid-19th century when he observed the various breeds during his visits to fairs and exhibitions. He noted the striking similarities between the Fancy Domestic Pigeons and their wild ancestors, recognizing the potential for selective breeding to create such diverse forms. This observation played a significant role in Darwin's development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. This exquisite print serves as a testament to the beauty and intrigue of Fancy Domestic Pigeons, offering a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds and their role in shaping scientific understanding. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and lifelike quality of the print make it a must-have for any avian enthusiast or collector of natural history art.
