EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the 1880s, showcases a striking portrait of a Short-Faced Blue and Black Bearded Pigeon (Columba livia) among its brethren in a quaint pigeon coop rooftop scene. The Short-Faced Blue and Black Bearded Pigeon is a captivating variant of the common pigeon, distinguished by its unique coloration and markings. The Short-Faced Blue and Black Bearded Pigeon boasts a predominantly blue body, with black bars running down its wings and tail, creating a striking contrast. Its face is adorned with a distinctive black beard, giving it an intriguing and regal appearance. In contrast, the other pigeons in the coop exhibit the typical grayish-brown coloration and barred markings common to the pigeon breed. The Short-Faced Blue and Black Bearded Pigeon is a historical breed, with its origins dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. These pigeons were often kept as ornamental birds in Europe and the United States, prized for their unique appearance and intriguing features. The breed's popularity waned in the 20th century, and today, it is considered a rare and endangered breed. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of pigeon breeding and the unique characteristics that have captivated bird enthusiasts for generations. The intricate details of the feathers, the subtle variations in color, and the expressive eyes of the birds all come together to create a captivating and timeless image.
