EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a General Loft filled with an array of majestic pigeons. The print, part of a private collection, is a stunning example of ornate decoration and intricate detail that was characteristic of the era. The illustration originally appeared in "The Illustrated Book of Pigeons with Standards for Judging" by Robert Fulton, published by Cassell around 1880. It offers a glimpse into the world of pigeon breeding and judging during this time period. In this enchanting scene, various species of pigeons can be seen perched on intricately designed aviaries within the loft. From tooth-billed pigeons to sea birds, these feathered creatures create a mesmerizing display against the black-and-white backdrop. The artist's skillful hand brings each bird to life through delicate lines and shading techniques. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only their physical features but also their unique personalities. This engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in avian wildlife. It transports viewers back to the late 19th century when pigeon lofts were popular attractions among enthusiasts. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance even today.
