EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases two intriguing varieties of fancy pigeon breeds: the Owl Pigeon and the Fantail Pigeon. The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The Owl Pigeon, with its distinctive feathered crest and large, round eyes, bears an uncanny resemblance to its avian namesake. Its dark plumage and piercing gaze make it a striking and mysterious addition to any collection. In contrast, the Fantail Pigeon, with its long, flowing tail feathers, displays an elegant and graceful appearance. The breed's name derives from its fanciful, fan-like tail, which adds a playful and ornamental touch to its overall appearance. Both of these pigeon breeds were popular in the 19th century, particularly among European aristocracy and aviculturists. They were often kept for their beauty and as symbols of wealth and status. This lithograph, with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colours, serves as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for these exotic and captivating birds during that time. The Complete Works of Buffon, by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, was a comprehensive encyclopedia of natural history, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of various plants, animals, and minerals. This lithograph, specifically, showcases the Owl Pigeon and Fantail Pigeon, highlighting their unique features and adding to the richness of the encyclopedia's ornithological section.
