Domestic Pigeon & Snow Pigeon Hybrids – Plate II

Two hybrid pigeons perch among softly rendered branches and foliage in this historic Italian ornithological plate. Blue-grey feathers, patterned wings, warm reddish breasts and vivid red feet stand against a restrained background of muted greens, browns and aged cream.

Published in Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia, the plate identifies its subjects as hybrids between a domestic pigeon and Columba leuconota. The natural setting, delicate coloration and original Italian typography give the scientific illustration an unusually atmospheric character while retaining its historical ornithological purpose.
