Published in the early 20th century, this exquisite print originates from an illustrious volume dedicated to the myriad breeds of pigeons. The meticulously rendered pigeons are closely grouped, each standing with poise and looking either to the right or left, capturing a moment of serene elegance. Such detailed illustrations not only showcase the aesthetic appeal of these birds but also reflect the practical considerations and deep admiration breeders held for them. This era was marked by a profound interest in documenting and understanding the natural world, and this plate highlights the purity, elegance, and grace inherent in these birds.
Why We Picked It
The foreground pigeons feature gorgeous spread-out tufts, and two of them display a striking black and white wing pattern that draws the viewer's eye from left to right. The white pigeons stand out beautifully against a backdrop of fall foliage colors and a sandy earth, creating a visually appealing color scheme.
Notable Context
The early 1900s saw significant advancements in the study of genetics and selective breeding, and the publication captures the spirit of scientific curiosity and dedication that characterized the era. Pigeon breeding was not merely a hobby but a sophisticated practice that combined art, science, and meticulous care.
Understanding Our Print Sizes
Understanding Our Print Sizes
Historical prints vary in proportion based on their original format. Whenever possible, we match them to the closest standard size, using common print ratios like 2:3 (e.g., 8x12) or 3:4 (e.g., 9x12). However, resizing some prints can distort the artwork's integrity, so we can only offer them in their original proportions. Additionally, we use different printers for our product lines, and not all sizes are available with every printer.
