EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, titled Columba vitiensis and created by the skilled hand of George Raper in 1792, showcases the striking features of the White-throated Pigeon, also known as the Metallic Pigeon. The Cap, or headpiece, of the pigeon is perched on a branch, displaying its elegant anatomy and distinctive characteristics. The White-throated Pigeon is native to the Pacific Islands, specifically in the region of Australasia. This pigeon is a member of the Columbidae family, which is part of the larger order of birds known as Columbiformes. The Sauropsida class, to which this bird belongs, includes reptiles and birds. The White-throated Pigeon is easily recognizable by its long, white feathers on its throat, which contrast sharply with the rest of its body. Its bill is red, and its head is adorned with a long, feathered crest. Its legs are also visible in the illustration, adding to the overall detail and realism of the drawing. George Raper, the artist, was an accomplished naturalist and illustrator of the 18th century. His detailed and accurate drawings were widely used to document and study the natural world during this time. This particular drawing, number 72 from The Raper Collection, is a testament to his skill and dedication to capturing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world. The White-throated Pigeon, with its striking appearance and unique features, continues to captivate and intrigue ornithologists and naturalists alike. This illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history of this fascinating bird species.
