EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of the Great Metropolitan Poultry Show, a prestigious event that took place in London in 1853. The image showcases an array of magnificent prizes awarded to various participants, ranging from birds to rabbits and chickens. The attention to detail is remarkable as each prize is meticulously depicted, highlighting their beauty and significance. Amongst them are Cochin China fowls, known for their striking appearance and Reverend J. F. Hodson's prized bantams. The atmosphere of excitement surrounding this grand exhibition can be felt through this print. It transports us back in time to witness the admiration bestowed upon these exceptional creatures by both exhibitors and spectators alike. Notable figures such as Mr. John Fairlie from Newmarket, Mr. John Forrest from Bristol, and Haverhill's very own Mr. J Fairlie were recognized for their outstanding contributions to poultry breeding. This engraving serves as a testament to the dedication and passion exhibited by those involved in the world of poultry farming during that era. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also provides insight into an important cultural event that celebrated excellence in aviculture over a century ago.
