EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the unique beauty and distinctive features of a Red-Pied Pouter Cock pigeon, also known as a Pigmy Pouter, from the late 1800s. The Pouter breed, a popular fancy pigeon variety, is characterized by its inflatable crop, which is prominently displayed in this image. The Red-Pied Pouter boasts an intriguing coloration of red, green, and white, with black markings adding to its allure. Its feathered feet and full, lengthy body add to its regal appearance. In the background, another Red-Pied Pouter can be seen flying, showcasing the breed's grace and agility in motion. The tree tops provide a serene backdrop, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The Red-Pied Pouter's unusual characteristics, such as its inflated crop and intricate markings, were highly sought after by pigeon fanciers during this era. The Pouter breed, which originated in Europe, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. These birds were bred for their distinctive appearance and were often kept as status symbols by the wealthy. The Red-Pied Pouter, in particular, was a favorite due to its striking coloration and unique features. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a detailed look at the history and appearance of this breed of pigeon.
