EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th century photograph showcases an exquisite array of feathers, meticulously plucked from partridge Cochin hens. The image offers a rare glimpse into the world of poultry farming during this era, highlighting the intricate details and diversity of feather types. The feathers in this photograph are a testament to the rich variety found on these birds. The longer secondary quills, with their tapered ends, are reminiscent of quills once used for writing. The solid hackle-feathers, characterized by their uniform length and texture, were prized for their use in fly-tying for anglers. Pencilled hackle-feathers, with their fine, delicate barbs, were also highly sought after for their ability to create intricate fly designs. The centre of the breast feathers is displayed, revealing their soft, downy texture, which provided insulation for the birds. The flat of the wing feathers, with their broad, flat bases, were used for various decorative purposes, such as in millinery and fashion. The centre of the cushion feathers, with their rounded tips, were used for upholstery and padding. Lastly, the shorter secondary quills, with their fine, pointed ends, were often used for quill pens or as decorative accents. This photograph not only showcases the versatility of these feathers but also offers a glimpse into the meticulous process of plucking and sorting them for various uses. The partridge Cochin hens, with their distinctive appearance and impressive feather quality, were highly prized during this era for their role in the production of these valuable materials.
