EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "New Breeds of Pigeons at the Birmingham Show" takes us back to the 19th century when pigeon breeding was a popular pastime. The image showcases an array of exquisite pigeons on display, each representing a different breed and exhibiting their unique characteristics. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this print, as every feather and contour of these magnificent birds has been meticulously rendered. From the regal posture of the Fantail pigeon to the flamboyant plumage of the Jacobin pigeon, each breed stands out with its distinct features and charm. The Birmingham Show was renowned for attracting enthusiasts from far and wide who would gather to showcase their prized pigeons. This illustration originally appeared in The Graphic magazine on December 10th, 1870, capturing a moment frozen in time that allows us to glimpse into this fascinating world. As we admire this historical artwork, we are reminded of how our relationship with animals has evolved over time. Pigeon breeding was not only a hobby but also an avenue for scientific exploration and artistic appreciation. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's diversity and our desire to create new breeds that reflect our aesthetic sensibilities. This enchanting print from Bridgeman Images transports us back in time, inviting us to marvel at these extraordinary creatures while pondering the ingenuity and passion behind their creation.
