A striking pair of original 1906 fancy-pigeon chromolithographs from Emil Schachtzabel’s Illustriertes Prachtwerk sämtlicher Tauben-Rassen, an important early twentieth-century German publication devoted to domestic pigeon breeds.
The pair includes Plate 23, Kupfergimpel, depicting richly colored Copper Archangel pigeons, and Plate 39, Farbentauben: Flügeltaube mit Latschen, featuring white Saxon and Bohemian wing pigeons with colored wing shields and dramatically feathered feet. Together, the plates create a striking contrast between the saturated copper, burgundy, blue, and green plumage of the Copper Archangels and the quieter whites, creams, and soft blues of the Saxon and Bohemian wing pigeons.
Each chromolithograph is presented in a coordinated archival double mat measuring 9 × 12 inches overall. The smoky taupe outer mats and green-brown inner reveals complement the warm antique paper and original printed margins, giving the pair a polished, designer-ready presentation. Offered unframed, they allow the buyer to select frames best suited to the intended interior.
With their unusual subject, rich color, and refined presentation, the pair works beautifully in an English country interior, library, study, bird collection, natural-history wall, or characterful gallery arrangement.
