EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases the elegant and distinctive features of a Red and Yellow Jacobin, a breed of fancy pigeon that originated in Asia during the 1800s. The Jacobin is easily identified by its unique muff or cowl of feathers, which forms a rosette on both sides of its head. This intricate feathered adornment is made up of a mane at the back of the head, a hood covering the top, and a chain of two lines of feathers running down the front of the chest. The Red and Yellow Jacobin's plumage is a stunning blend of red, yellow, and white, with the red and yellow hues adding vibrant contrast against the white feathers. The pigeon's neck is held proudly, and its head is turned slightly to the side, giving the portrait a lifelike and engaging quality. The Jacobin is a result of many years of selective breeding, and its distinctive characteristics make it a favorite among pigeon enthusiasts. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the history of this fascinating breed and the art of fancy pigeon keeping.
