EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to the 1880s, showcases an exquisite collection of pigeons, featuring two Black-Pied Pouter Cocks (also known as Pigmy Pouters) and two Brunner Pouters. The Black-Pied Pouters, with their striking contrast of green and white feathers against their black body and feet, are displayed in all their glory with their crops inflated, highlighting their unique and unusual features. The Pouter breed is known for its distinctive inflatable necks, which the males use to impress females during mating season. In the background, two Brunner Pouters, adorned with white feathers, add a charming contrast to the black and green hues of their Black-Pied counterparts. The intricate details of their feathers and markings are on full display, showcasing the dedication and care that went into breeding and raising these fancy pigeons. The Black-Pied Pouter Cocks, with their unusual appearance and striking colors, were a popular fancy pigeon breed during the late 1800s. Their nests and lofts were often meticulously maintained, and their caretakers took great pride in their birds' appearance and health. This portrait offers a glimpse into the rich history of pigeon breeding and the intricate details and characteristics that set each breed apart. The Black-Pied Pouters' inflated crops, feathered feet, and distinctive markings make them a true marvel of the avian world.
