EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the striking contrast between the Show Antwerps and Flying Antwerps, two distinct breeds of fancy pigeons. The image, dating back to the 1880s, features a portrait of two Show Antwerps with their short, compact bodies and distinctive, rounded faces. Their coloration is a blend of blue, red, and black, with intricate chequered markings on their wings. In contrast, the Flying Antwerps are depicted in flight, revealing their long, slender bodies and elongated faces. Their coloration is a combination of white, green, and black, with bold, chequered markings on their wings. The short-faced Show Antwerps were bred for their ornate appearance and were often displayed at shows, while the long-faced Flying Antwerps were prized for their agility and endurance in flight. The Antwerp breed of pigeon, also known as the Belgian Antwerp or the Antwerp Tumbler, is a type of domesticated pigeon that originated in Belgium in the 16th century. The breed's unique features, such as its short face and compact body, were developed through selective breeding. The Flying Antwerp, also known as the Long-faced Antwerp, is a subtype of the Antwerp breed that was bred for its long face and exceptional flying abilities. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of these intriguing birds and the rich tradition of pigeon breeding. The details of the birds' coloration, face shapes, and wing markings are beautifully captured, making this a must-have for any avian enthusiast or collector of historical photographs.
