This stunning frontispiece, taken from Daniel Girton's seminal work "The New and Complete Pigeon-Fancier; or, Modern Treatise on Domestic Pigeons," published circa 1804, showcases twelve distinct breeds of pigeons. The intricately detailed drawing and engraving, credited to Daniel Girton, captures the unique characteristics and beauty of each breed, providing a glimpse into the world of pigeon fancying during the early 19th century. The twelve breeds depicted include the Carrier Pigeon, the Runner, the Tumbler, the Jacobin, the Rouen, the Barbed Hanover, the Barred Pouter, the Fantail, the Ornamental, the English Columbian, the Vauxhall, and the Pouter Pigeon. Each breed is presented with pride and precision, highlighting their distinct physical attributes and unique traits. "The New and Complete Pigeon-Fancier" was considered a comprehensive guide for pigeon enthusiasts, providing information on breeding, care, and exhibition techniques. The publication of this treatise marked a significant moment in the history of pigeon fancying, as it brought together the knowledge and expertise of the time and presented it in a clear and accessible way. This beautiful frontispiece not only serves as a testament to the artistry of Daniel Girton but also offers a fascinating insight into the world of pigeon fancying during the early 19th century. The twelve breeds of pigeons presented here continue to be admired and cherished by enthusiasts around the world, making this image a must-have for anyone with an interest in the history and diversity of domestic pigeons.
