EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Pigeon Fancier from the early 1900s, brought to you by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The vintage scene transports us to a bygone era, filled with the charm and intrigue of the Victorian and Edwardian periods in England. The Pigeon Fancier, dressed in a smart, turn-of-the-century suit, is intently focused on his beloved birds. He cradles a lantern in one hand, illuminating the intricate copper banded perches and the pristine white doves gathered around him. The pigeons, with their iridescent feathers and proud postures, seem to hold a certain regal air. The image captures the essence of the pigeon racing culture that was popular during this time. Pigeon racing, an ancient sport, had gained significant popularity in Europe and America. Racers would release their birds from various locations, and the first pigeon to return home would bring its owner great pride and, in some cases, financial rewards. The lantern, a common tool used during this period to provide light in the dark, adds an authentic touch to the scene. The photographer's skillful composition and attention to detail bring this moment in history to life, allowing us to appreciate the passion and dedication of the Pigeon Fancier and the allure of his beloved birds.
