EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases a portrait of two distinctive breeds of fancy pigeons, the Archangels and Swifts, dating back to the 1880s. The Archangels, with their unusual appearance, are easily recognizable by their metallic sheen feathers, dark orange eyes, and peak crest. The breed's name derives from their crested heads, which resemble the helmets of archangels. In contrast, the Swifts, also known as Egyptian Swifts, are best known for their long wings and tails, as well as their short beaks. The Archangels and Swifts are both part of the Columbidae family, order Columbiformes, and the genus Columba, with the scientific name being Columba livia. The intricate details of their plumage, from the blend of red, green, black, brown, and bronze feathers to the subtle colouration on their necks and shields, add to their allure. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of these fascinating birds and the artistry of the 19th century.
