EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a group of fancy pigeons perched on a loft roof, circa 1890s. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and charm, as the birds display their elegant plumage and intriguing feather foot varieties. Fancy pigeons were a popular hobby among the Victorian elite, with breeders meticulously selecting and crossbreeding different species to create unique and visually striking birds. This image showcases the diverse range of feather foot varieties, from the delicate and curled toes of the Barbed Pigeon to the webbed feet of the Rouen, and the lace-like feet of the Jacobin. The pigeons appear content and at ease on the old, weathered roof, their rosy combs and bright eyes reflecting the warm glow of the sunlight. The loft, with its rustic wooden beams and ivy-covered walls, adds to the idyllic setting and transports us back to a simpler time. This photograph, part of the Classic Photographics Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Victorian pigeon keeping and the beauty of these captivating birds. Whether you're an avian enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the art of photography, this image is sure to delight and inspire.
