Pigeon, Passenger
Context: Annotation: "Geo. E. Atkinson trans 68. Feb. 1905 Hist & Sc. Soc. Manitoba Winnipeg" "Page 7 1/8 x 9 7/8" "type [deed?] 4 1/8 x6 5/16" "[male]" "[female]" "im". Probably prepared for Atkinson's article: "A Review = History of the Passenger Pigeon of Manitoba" in Transaction 68 of the Historical and Scientific Society of Manitoba and either rejected or used as an exhibit item for his accompanying talk. The piece does not appear in the published article, however a photograph of stuffed birds does appear (not even remotely resembling the drawing). Atkinson may have decided a photograph was more suitable.
