EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Wild Turkey, Male and Female" takes us back to the early 19th century in rural America. Created by Titian Ramsey Peale as part of Alexander Wilson's renowned book "American Ornithology" this print showcases the beauty and diversity of wildlife during that time. The image features a male and female Wild Turkey, known scientifically as Meleagris Gallopavo. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their feathers, which are meticulously drawn and hand-tinted with shades of brown. The male turkey proudly struts while the female looks away with a slight aversion, capturing their distinct expressions. Set against a backdrop of lush foliage and plants, these two animals stand out in all their natural glory. Their active stance suggests they are walking through the countryside, perhaps searching for food or exploring their surroundings. As we admire this close-up view of these magnificent creatures, we can't help but appreciate how this artwork captures a moment frozen in time. It serves as both an educational document on American ornithology and a visual delight for nature enthusiasts. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this hand-coloured engraving transports us to another era when humans coexisted with wild turkeys amidst vast landscapes teeming with diverse flora and fauna.
