EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the charm and elegance of La Cote D Azur in Monte Carlo during the 19th century. Titled "Le Tir aux Pigeons" it showcases a lively scene at a pigeon shooting game, which was a popular pastime during that era. Taken by an unknown French photographer, this image is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration for the book "La Cote D Azur" published around 1900. The photos in the book were credited to Giletta Freres, Nice, known for their stunning images capturing the beauty of France. In this particular photograph, we see men aiming their guns at pigeons flying overhead while others watch with anticipation. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and competition as participants try to showcase their marksmanship skills. The backdrop of Monte Carlo adds to the allure of this image. Known for its luxurious casinos and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, Monte Carlo has always been synonymous with glamour and opulence. This snapshot not only provides us with a glimpse into history but also highlights the relationship between humans and animals during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how our perspectives on wildlife have evolved over time. Overall, this black-and-white print offers us a window into both historical events and cultural practices that defined life in early 20th-century Europe.
