EDITORS COMMENTS
Wompoo Fruit Dove: A Magnificent Avian Beauty from the Old World This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of the Wompoo Fruit Dove, Ptilinopus magnificus, also known as the Magnificent Fruit Pigeon or Carpophaga magnifica. The image is based on an illustration by the renowned English artist Edward Lear, created in 1840 as part of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, in Leipzig. The Wompoo Fruit Dove is a stunning bird native to the rainforests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia. With its iridescent green and purple plumage, this pigeon is a true embodiment of natural beauty. The male's vibrant colours are particularly striking, with a glossy green head, purple-tinged chest, and a striking white collar. The female, while less colourful, still boasts a beautiful green and brown plumage. The Wompoo Fruit Dove is an important seed disperser in its habitat, playing a crucial role in the rainforest ecosystem. These birds feed primarily on fruit, especially figs, and help in the propagation of various plant species. Edward Lear's illustration of the Wompoo Fruit Dove is a testament to the artist's keen observation skills and his ability to capture the essence of the subject. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. This lithograph is not only a beautiful addition to any natural history collection but also a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in the world around us.
