EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving on steel, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three elegant birds: the French Mondain and Cravate pigeons, and a turtle dove. The image is taken from Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The French Mondain and Cravate pigeons, also known as the Carrier and Tumbler pigeons, are depicted in their finest attire. The Carrier pigeon, with its distinctive crest and banded neck, is perched on a branch, while the Tumbler pigeon, with its rounded body and short, curved beak, is shown in mid-flight. Both varieties were popular in Europe for their use in messenger services and as ornamental birds. The turtle dove, with its graceful form and delicate features, is a symbol of love and peace. Its soft, cooing call is a familiar sound in many parts of the world, and it has been a favorite subject of artists and poets for centuries. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the ornithological research of the 19th century. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the intricate steel engraving, making it a true work of art. The drawing was created by Edouard Travies, a skilled artist and illustrator, who captured the essence of these birds with remarkable accuracy and detail. Overall, this image is a stunning example of the artistry and scientific curiosity that characterized the study of natural history during this period.
