EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases two Frill-Back Pigeons and two Scandaroons, both distinctive and beautiful varieties of domesticated fancy pigeons. The Frill-Backs, with their elegant crests and plain-headed counterparts, are illustrated in full-length to highlight their unique frills or curls on the wing shield feathers and feet. The crest-headed Frill-Back boasts a striking red, black, and white plumage, while the plain-headed Frill-Back displays a more subtle blend of green and white feathers. The Scandaroons, also known as Nuremberg Bagdads, are depicted in this portrait to exhibit their varied pied colouration and prominent wattles on the nostril cere. The Scandaroon's intricate plumage boasts a beautiful blend of red, black, and white feathers, creating a visually stunning contrast against their pink wattles. This photograph, believed to date back to the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of fancy pigeon breeding. The Frill-Back and Scandaroon pigeons were popular breeds during this era, with their distinctive features and impressive plumage making them sought-after additions to collections. The artful presentation of these birds in this portrait serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of their breeders and the enduring allure of these fascinating creatures. The Frill-Back and Scandaroon pigeons, with their crests, frills, and pied colouration, continue to captivate bird enthusiasts and collectors alike, making this photograph a timeless treasure in the world of avian history.
