EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored lithograph depicts a wild turkey hen, Meleagris gallopavo, lovingly attending to her brood of poults, or chicks, in the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, or Natural History Picture Gallery, of Georg Friedrich Treitschke in Leipzig, Germany, circa 1842. The meticulous attention to detail in the intricate plumage of the hen and her offspring is a testament to the skillful artistry of the lithographer. The wild turkey, native to North America, is a large and powerful bird, with distinctive feathers that fan out in vibrant colors during mating displays. The hen's protective instincts are on full display as she leads her young ones through the forest, keeping them close and alert to any potential threats. The lithograph is a captivating representation of the natural world and the intricate relationships between parents and their offspring in the animal kingdom. The image serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and the importance of preserving it for future generations to appreciate and study.
