EDITORS COMMENTS
Angling for Pigeons" by W.H. Robinson (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library This humorous photograph, titled "Angling for Pigeons," captures the whimsical spirit of an inventive Victorian gentleman, W.H. Robinson, as he engages in an unusual form of angling within the hallowed grounds of the British Museum. Dressed in elegant attire, Robinson is seen perched on the steps of the museum's grand entrance, a fishing rod in hand, as he attempts to catch pigeons that flit about the courtyard. The historical setting, with its ornate columns and intricate architectural details, serves as an ironic backdrop to this unconventional pastime. The invention of this peculiar sporting device is not explicitly stated in the photograph, but it appears to be a modified fishing rod with a large, conical net attached to the end. Robinson's determined expression and the hopeful gaze of onlookers suggest that this amusing pursuit was not without its share of successes and failures. This photograph offers a delightful glimpse into the past, highlighting the inventive spirit, sense of humor, and love for the outdoors that transcended the boundaries of traditional sports. The image invites us to ponder the lengths people will go to in pursuit of their passions, even in the most unexpected of places. The British Museum, with its rich historical significance, serves as a fitting stage for this playful scene, reminding us of the importance of preserving the past while embracing the absurdities and joys of human ingenuity.
