The engraving, created by Arthur Hopkins in 1884, captures a scene filled with charm and nostalgia. In the heart of Venice, amidst the grandeur of St Mark's Square, we witness a group of elegantly dressed women engaging in a timeless tradition - feeding pigeons. The image showcases not only the beauty of Venice but also highlights the unique bond between humans and nature. As these graceful ladies scatter grains for their feathered friends, it is evident that this act brings them joy and serenity. The pigeons flock around them eagerly, creating an enchanting spectacle against the backdrop of Venetian architecture.
