EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Feeding the Pigeons, Boston Common," was captured by American photographer William H. Jackson around 1911 or 1912. The image showcases a serene moment in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, as a woman in a flowing hat and dress stands before a group of pigeons, extending her hand to feed them. The tranquil scene is set against the backdrop of a historic building with intricate architectural details. The image is a dry plate negative glass, measuring 8 x 10 inches, and was published by Detroit Publishing Company, which was known for its extensive collection of American landscape and cityscape photography. The photograph is a testament to the pastime of feeding pigeons in public parks, a common sight in urban areas during the early 20th century. The photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, with the focus on the connection between the woman and the birds, and the background people and pedestrians adding to the bustling energy of the scene. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a national treasure that preserves the heritage and history of the United States. The photograph is a beautiful example of the artistic vision of William H. Jackson, who captured the essence of American life during the 1910s. The image invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring beauty of simple pleasures, such as feeding the pigeons in a park.
