Posing with Pigeons for a Plebeian Picture on the Piazza

Posing with Pigeons for a Plebeian Picture on the Piazza
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of birds (wild or domesticated).

Four women pose among the pigeons in the Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) in Venice, Italy, probably sometime in the 1920s.

There's no stamp, postmark, or address on the other side of this real photo postcard, but one of the women wrote this message:

"Yes, Lucy actually said we ought have her picture taken in this plebeian manner. The pigeons annoyed and scared us but otherwise we are perfectly happy."

Printed on the other side: "Cartolina Postale" (Italian for "postcard") with a "Satrap" stamp box.

They were very nearly fouled by the fowl. It was a cloche call.
