Prize pigeons at the show of the Philo-Peristeron Society, recently held in Freemasons' Hall, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Prize pigeons at the show of the Philo-Peristeron Society, recently held in Freemasons' Hall, 1864. 'Pouters were exhibited by Mr. William Smith, of Halifax, several of which were remarkably good birds, but did not show themselves to advantage, owing, most likely, to the weariness of the birds from their long journey. The several pens of carriers, containing ten and twelve in each, pen, were the property of Messrs. Hayne, Carrel, Everett, Date, Square, and Chalker, and were wonderfully fine birds, some of them as near perfection as can be expected. The dragon pen contained, among others, the three Birmingham prize pens, a pair of Mr. Jones Percival receiving universal praise. The exhibitors of jacobins were Messrs. Harrison Weir, Wicking, and Esquilant. Mr. Harrison Weir, who is the president of the society, had the post of honour for his beautiful and attractive pen of white fantails...Mr. Wicking had also a fine pen of fantails, one of blue Brunswicks, one of magpies, one of swallows, and one of other varieties. The almond and short-faced tumblers were good, and were chiefly the properties of those excellent fanciers, Messrs. Lucy and Esquilant; there were also some well-bred baldheads and beards belonging to the latter gentleman'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite prize pigeons on display at the Philo-Peristeron Society show in Freemasons' Hall in 1864. The image showcases a variety of breeds, each more impressive than the last.
Mr. William Smith's pouters may not have shown themselves to their full potential due to weariness from their journey, but they were still remarkably good birds. The carriers owned by Messrs. Hayne, Carrel, Everett, Date, Square, and Chalker were described as near perfection - a true testament to their breeding skills.
The dragon pen was particularly noteworthy, housing Birmingham prize winners that received universal praise. Mr. Jones Percival's pair stood out among them all.
The jacobins exhibited by Messrs. Harrison Weir, Wicking, and Esquilant were equally impressive. Mr. Harrison Weir's white fantails stole the show with their beauty and elegance.
Overall, this print is a glimpse into the world of pigeon fanciers in 1864 - a world filled with passion for breeding and showcasing these magnificent birds. Each bird on display is a testament to the dedication and skill of its owner, making this event truly unforgettable for all who attended.
