EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print showcases the majestic Turkey, scientifically known as Meleagris gallopavo. With its vibrant handcoloured details, this copperplate engraving is a true work of art that transports us back to an era when natural history was both a source of amusement and instruction for children. The artist behind this masterpiece remains anonymous but belongs to the English School. The print is part of Samuel Galton Jr. 's renowned Natural History of Birds, published in London by Joseph Johnson in 1791. This educational book aimed to captivate young minds with fascinating facts about various bird species. The Turkey depicted here represents not only a magnificent creature but also symbolizes Turkish culture and heritage. Nestled within central Turkey, it serves as a reminder of the country's rich history and its place at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded that birds have always fascinated humans throughout history. Their beauty, diversity, and unique characteristics continue to inspire awe and wonder even today. This particular print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent involved in creating such intricate engravings and the importance of educating future generations about our natural world.
