EDITORS COMMENTS
Figure 23: A Striking Depiction of Darwin's Short-faced English Tumblers from Variation in Animals and Plants under Domestication This line drawing, Figure 23, is an original from Charles Darwin's seminal work, Variation in Animals and Plants under Domestication, published in 1868. The image showcases the Short-faced English Tumbler, a domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica), with its distinctive short beak and compact body. This fancy pigeon breed, also known as the Short-faced Tumbler, was popular during the Victorian era for its unique appearance and acrobatic abilities. Darwin's interest in pigeons extended beyond their ornamental value. He studied their morphological differences and used them as a model organism to explore the mechanisms of inheritance, contributing significantly to the development of the modern science of genetics. This drawing is a testament to Darwin's meticulous observation and documentation of the natural world. The Short-faced English Tumbler is a descendant of the wild Rock Dove (Columba livia), also known as the Rock Pigeon or the Feral Pigeon. The Rock Dove is a common bird found in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and is the ancestor of all domesticated pigeons. The Short-faced English Tumbler, with its short beak and rounded body, is a striking example of the diversity that can emerge through selective breeding. This exquisite illustration, with its intricate details and precise shading, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the study of natural history was a source of wonder and fascination. The drawing is a valuable historical artifact, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its role in the development of our understanding of biology and evolution.
