EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Passenger Pigeon, a species that tragically became extinct in the mid-19th century. The image, taken from Reverend Francis Orpen Morris' Bible Natural History publication in 1856, offers a poignant glimpse into the vibrant plumage and distinctive profile of this now-lost bird. The side view of the Passenger Pigeon perched on a branch highlights its graceful posture and colorful feathers. Its presence evokes both scientific curiosity and religious symbolism, as it is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. This connection to biblical references adds an additional layer of significance to this portrait. Through this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's impact on our natural world and the consequences of our actions. The extinction of such a magnificent creature serves as a stark reminder that we must strive to protect and preserve Earth's diverse ecosystems for future generations. As we reflect upon this image, let us not only appreciate its aesthetic beauty but also recognize our responsibility to be stewards of nature. May it inspire us to take action towards conservation efforts so that other species may not suffer the same fate as the Passenger Pigeon.
