Bloodless Sport, the Terra-Cotta Pigeon at the Ranelagh Club, London, 1883. A clay blank in the shape of a plate, with a very hard cardboard-stone handle attached to the rim, replaces the pigeon to prevent its death by the practice of this sport. From "La Ilustración Española y Americana" (The Spanish and American Illustration), 1883.
