Corn Feed Feeding Moscow Pigeon Pigeons Providing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of three Russian women engaging in the timeless activity of pigeon feeding in early 20th century Moscow. Dressed in traditional Russian attire, the women are seen seated on a bench in a public square, surrounded by a flock of pigeons eagerly awaiting their meal. The women are carefully scooping corn from a large wooden bowl and tossing it to the birds, providing a moment of connection and delight for both parties. The historical context of this image transports us back to a time when Moscow was undergoing significant transformation. The city was rapidly modernizing, yet the simple pleasure of feeding pigeons remained a cherished pastime for locals and visitors alike. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of Moscow's residents during this period, providing a window into the past that resonates with us even today. The women's expressions of contentment and joy are palpable, as they enjoy the company of the birds and each other. The pigeons, too, seem to relish the moment, their focus entirely on the corn being offered. The scene is a reminder of the universal language of kindness and the simple pleasures that bring people together. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a bygone era, offering us a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring human connection to nature and the natural world.
