Le Tir aux Pigeons,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or pigeon shooting at Monte Carlo, was a popular pastime among the elite in the early 20th century. This charming photograph, taken in 1905, captures the elegant atmosphere of the event. Dressed in their finest attire, participants gather around a wooden structure with a canvas backdrop, ready to take aim at the pigeons perched on the ledge. Despite the name, there was no real danger or harm inflicted on the birds or the shooters. The pigeons were specially bred for this sport, and were released from a trap door beneath the structure just as the shooters took their shots. The pigeons would fly up, providing a challenge for the shooters to hit their mark. The gentlemen in this photograph exude an air of sophistication and refinement, their crisp suits and hats adding to the elegant ambiance of the scene. The ladies, dressed in elegant gowns and hats, look on with amusement and delight as their partners take part in this unique and entertaining activity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when leisurely pursuits were an essential part of high society. The absence of danger and the fact that no one, except the pigeons, got hurt, made this an enjoyable and popular pastime for those seeking a taste of Monte Carlo's glamour and excitement.
