Description:
Silver prize medal awarded by the Twentsche Pluimvee-Club in Enschede in 1897. This example represents an honorary prize (“Eere Prijs”) for the finest pair of fantail pigeons (“Pauwstaarten”), awarded to W. A. Baarslag.
The medal is part of a compelling group of awards to the same recipient, who appears to have been an active and successful breeder within late 19th-century Twente exhibition culture. The explicit reference to Pauwstaarten, a highly decorative and sought-after pigeon breed, adds a strong zoological and specialist appeal.
