“War Pigeons” by Jackie Dorage; oil paint on wood panel.
Jackie emailed to tell us this image was inspired by our story about war pigeons in the “Lost & Found” episode. We get super excited when our stories inspire people to make art. Keep it coming, all you talented people!
It’s tough being the last surviving member of your species. Sometimes it helps to sing about it.

Old, Weird Tech: Dr. Neubronner’s Patented Miniature Pigeon Camera

“The mechanisms were simple. A camera with a pneumatic timing mechanism was attached to a bird with a cute little harness. Then, the bird was released, and every so often, the timer would go off, and a puff of compressed air would trigger the exposure.”
Too wonderful.
