EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from the late 19th century. Titled "Military maneuvers: the passenger pigeons - in 'Le Petity Journal' of 02/05/1897" this image showcases an unknown artist's depiction of an extraordinary event. The photograph, part of a private collection, transports us back to a time when military tactics involved not only soldiers but also unexpected participants. Intriguingly, the focal point of this artwork is not humans or traditional war machinery, but rather a flock of passenger pigeons. These majestic birds are seen soaring through the sky alongside horses and soldiers engaged in military exercises. This unique juxtaposition highlights the versatility and adaptability of these remarkable creatures. The engraving expertly captures the energy and movement within this scene, showcasing both the gracefulness of the birds and the power emanating from their surroundings. It serves as a reminder that nature can play an unexpected role even in human endeavors such as warfare. Photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully brings this historical moment to life through his lens, immortalizing it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of our past but also how art has always been intertwined with documenting significant events throughout history.
