EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the picturesque rice storehouses and pigeon cots in Madagascar. The artist, belonging to the English School, beautifully captures this unique architectural feature of the island nation. The image depicts a cluster of traditional rice storehouses standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. These structures served as storage facilities for one of Madagascar's staple crops - rice. Their intricate design and thatched roofs add an element of charm to the landscape. What truly sets this scene apart are the pigeon cots scattered among the storehouses. These small wooden structures were built specifically to house pigeons, serving both practical and cultural purposes for the local communities. Pigeons were not only valued for their meat but also played a significant role in religious ceremonies and rituals. Intriguingly, perched on one of these cots is a tooth-billed pigeon, adding life to this enchanting tableau. This rare bird species is native to Madagascar and its presence further emphasizes the rich biodiversity found on this island paradise. This digitally cleaned image was originally featured in Robert Brown's book "The World Its Cities and Peoples" published by Cassell in approximately 1885. Now part of a private collection, it has been preserved through time to offer us a glimpse into Madagascar's past beauty and cultural heritage.
