EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration, titled 'Gallicolumba luzonica, Luzon Bleeding-heart' (Large Series plate 53), is a captivating representation of the Luzon Bleeding-Heart, an endemic bird species native to the Luzon Island in the Philippines. The illustration is part of the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, which was created during the 19th century. John Reeves (1774-1853), a British merchant and naturalist, compiled this impressive collection of watercolor illustrations during his time in China. The illustrations were produced by skilled Chinese artists, providing a unique blend of Western naturalistic style and Eastern artistic techniques. The Luzon Bleeding-Heart, also known as the Luzon Gallo, is a member of the Columbidae family, order Galliformes, and order Columbiformes. This bird is characterized by its distinctive heart-shaped markings on its chest, which are actually air sacs that can be inflated to make the bird appear larger and more intimidating during displays. The bird's long, pointed head, large eyes, and feathered cap add to its distinctive appearance. The Luzon Bleeding-Heart is a forest bird that is found in the mountainous regions of Luzon Island. It is a ground-dwelling bird that feeds primarily on seeds and fruits. Unfortunately, this species is considered near-threatened due to habitat loss and hunting for food. This illustration provides a valuable record of the Luzon Bleeding-Heart's appearance and anatomy during the 19th century, making it an invaluable resource for ornithologists and natural historians. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the illustration showcase the skill and artistry of the Chinese artists who created it, as well as the dedication of John Reeves in documenting the natural world around him.
