Published in 1879, this is considered one of the most important works of the 19th Century on Domestic Pigeons. Original copies of this book are extremely rare and often sell for hundreds of dollars. This book features insights into all the breeds of Fancy, Utility and Flying pigeons that were known in England during the second half of the 19th Century. Chapters include The Pigeon Loft, Feeds and Feeding, Breeding and General Management, Pedigree Breeding, Exhibiting Pigeons, Carriers, Dragoons, Barbs, Short Faced Tumblers, Common and Performing Tumblers, Pouters, Fantails, Jacobins, Frilled Pigeons, Exhibition Antwerps, Trumpeters – Archangels – Nuns – Magpies – Runts, Eastern Toy Pigeons, Misc. Toy Pigeons, Homing Pigeons, Diseases of Pigeons and much more. One of the most authorative books of its kind and still pertinent to pigeon fanciers everywhere over 120 years later. Lavishly illustrated with rare period artwork. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
