Overview

E.S. Starr's legendary essays "The Breeding of Fancy Pigeons" and "The Homing Pigeon" are brought together here for the first time since their first publication in 1886. Originally having appeared in The Century magazine, these essays are considered rare classics on pigeon keeping from the late 19th Century. Included are details on the keeping of many varieties of Fancy Pigeons, such as Fantails, Trumpeters, Pouters, Frills and others, as well as insights into the early history of racing pigeons. Lavishly illustrated with vintage pigeon art depicting many breeds of fancy and racing pigeons. 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.
