This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Madagascar Green Pigeon, Treron australis, a captivating avian species endemic to the island of Madagascar. The illustration was meticulously drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist and artist, Richard Polydore Nodder, and published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1800. The Madagascar Green Pigeon is a medium-sized bird with an emerald-green plumage, distinctive red eyes, and a yellow beak. The intricate details of its feathers, the delicate shading, and the lifelike quality of the engraving capture the essence of this enchanting bird.
