EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to April 10,1898, capturing a remarkable moment of history. On board the transatlantic liner La Bretagne between Le Havre and New York, we witness the releasing of French army homing pigeons. In an era before instant communication and advanced technology, these birds played a crucial role in transmitting messages across vast distances. As they take flight into the open sky, their natural instincts kick in as they navigate their way back home with important information. The scene is filled with anticipation and wonder as sailors and passengers gather on deck to witness this extraordinary display of ornithology. The pigeons' wings spread wide against the backdrop of the majestic liner, symbolizing freedom and connection. Le Petit Journal, Paris's renowned publication at that time, immortalized this event through its lens. This image serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness in harnessing nature's gifts for communication purposes. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us to a bygone era where bird and man collaborated harmoniously amidst the vastness of the ocean. It reminds us that even without modern devices or commercial motives, humans have always found ingenious ways to bridge gaps and connect with one another across great distances.
