"Pet Pigeon" is a chromolithograph from the "Household Pets" series produced by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1891. The card depicts a woman in a blue dress with a pigeon perched on her shoulder, while another flies above her. The vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the woman and pigeons are characteristic of the chromolithographic technique. This card, like others in the series, was likely intended for popular consumption, showcasing the beauty and charm of domestic animals. The card is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York.
