AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A richly illustrated handbook on English fancy pigeon breeding, combining practical husbandry advice with a comprehensive overview of the most important breeds.
Publisher: London, Paris, New York & Melbourne, Cassell and Company, 1901. 232 pages with numerous illustrations. Blind- and gold-blocked linen binding of the period, 19 x 13 cm.
--------------------------------------
Lewis Wright (1838–1905) ranks among the most important British authors on poultry and pigeon keeping of the late 19th century. With The Practical Pigeon Keeper he created one of the most influential English-language manuals on the keeping and breeding of fancy pigeons, which, due to its scientifically grounded yet practical presentation, was regarded for decades as a standard work.
The work covers all aspects of pigeon keeping—from planning and outfitting the loft to feeding, care, breeding and rearing, to show preparation and breeding methods. A broad space is given to the detailed descriptions of the individual fancy pigeon breeds, including Carrier, Dragon, Barb, Tumbler, Pouter, Fantail, Jacobin, Owl, Turbit, Antwerp and many other English and continental breeds. Wright explains their origins, development, characteristic features and breeding evaluation, and at the same time provides a vivid glimpse into the English show culture at the turn of the century.
--------------------------------------
Binding with slight age-related wear, internally complete, clean and only occasionally faintly stained; overall a very well-preserved copy.
