Discover the beauty and intrigue of the pigeon family with this wall calendar, featuring exquisite illustrations from Pauline Knip’s legendary “Les Pigeons” (1811). Each month showcases a rare and vibrant member of the Columbidae family, from the majestic Victoria crowned pigeon to the jewel-toned Nicobar pigeon and more. Every image is accompanied by a detailed caption, including the bird’s name, scientific classification, and a professional credit line—making this calendar as informative as it is beautiful.
More than just a calendar, this collection tells the fascinating story of Pauline Knip—a pioneering woman artist whose talent and ambition left a mark on the world of natural history illustration. Her collaboration (and rivalry) with Dutch naturalist Coenraad Temminck led to one of the most dramatic publication sagas of the 19th century. Each page is a true conversation starter, and when the year is over, you can easily cut out and frame your favorite images to enjoy as unique wall art. Bring the exquisite world of Pauline Knip’s pigeons to your wall—a calendar that inspires all year long.
For customers in the United States and Canada, the calendar is available in Ledger size (11×16.5 inches), while customers in the EU, UK, Australia, and other regions receive it in A3 size (29.7×42 cm).
