About This Item
[16] pp., 100 ll.First edition of a beautifully illustrated book on doves and pigeons by the German specialist Emil Schachtzabel, known for his numerous articles on domesticated dove and pigeon breeds. The present work shows a wide variety of breeds with detailed accounts of their origins, sizes, types, colours and patterns. The full-page brightly coloured plates, made after watercolour drawings by the artist Anton Schöner (1866-1930), are meant as models for a breeding standard of domesticated doves and pigeons. Breeding faults are listed in the description as well. The notes to the plates face the relevant plate, all except the first being printed on the back of the preceding plate. The binding decoration also includes images of two pigeons. In very good condition, only slightly browned.l Möbes, Bibliographie der Tauben, p. 137.
