The Taylor White Collection
The watercolour painting of the Turtle Doves comes from the collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Peter Paillou (c.1720 - c.1790) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The Turtle Doves was one of the watercolour paintings, which resulted from the collaboration between White and Paillou.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession, was a keen naturalist and collector. He commissioned over 900 paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish from the finest painters of his day. He was a Fellow of The Royal Society and founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London.
The original watercolour of the Turtle Doves is extremely finely painted, with great detail being seen in all of the details of the painting. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful journal.
The Oriental Turtle Dove
The Oriental Turtle Dove (Scientific name: Streptopelai orientalis) is an avian marvel that has captured hearts and inspired awe across Asia. The Oriental Turtle Dove is a charming and graceful species of dove, whose range spans from the western edges of Europe all the way to the eastern shores of Japan.
Nestled within lush wooded habitats, the Oriental Turtle Dove thrives in environments which provide ample open space to stretch its wings. These feathered friends are not only a delight to behold but also hold an intriguing secret - their fascinating resemblance to their European cousin, the European Turtle Dove.
Slightly larger in stature, the Oriental Turtle Dove boasts a captivating plumage, which artfully combines the best of nature's colour palette. Adorning the side of its neck is a mesmerizing patch of black and white stripes, embellished with silver tips that sparkle like stardust. But the beauty doesn't end there! A gentle blush of light pink graces the bird's breast feathers, while its wings showcase a striking contrast with their deep, orange-brown hue. Discover the beauty, mystery, and allure of this captivating species, and let the Turtle Dove become your new favourite feathered friend!
