EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Silver and Blue Runt, a fascinating breed of fancy pigeon that dates back to the 1800s. The Runt is one of the oldest known pigeon breeds, with its origins rooted in Italy, where it earned its French name, Roman pigeon. This elegant avian beauty is characterized by its long and large body, with strong and short, beetroot-red legs that add a striking contrast to its silver and blue plumage. The Runt's unique appearance is a result of selective breeding, which has produced a bird with a distinct blend of colors. The silver and blue feathers create an exquisite iridescence, while the black bars and greenish-blue neck add depth and dimension to its plumage. The wattles and beak of this bird are also noteworthy, with the wattles displaying a vibrant red coloration. The Runt's body shape is elongated and robust, with a pair of bars visible on its chest. The bars, along with the bird's strong legs and wattles, add to its distinctive appearance. This portrait, captured in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of fancy pigeon breeding and the captivating world of these feathered creatures. The Runt's enduring popularity among collectors and enthusiasts is a testament to its timeless beauty and charm.
