EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the stunning American Wyandotte chickens, bred by T. C. Heath and celebrated as first prize winners at both Crystal Palace and Birmingham in 1886. The intricate detailing of this print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, truly brings these magnificent birds to life. The American Wyandotte chickens featured in this artwork are members of the Gallus gallus domesticus species, known for their ornate plumage and distinctive appearance. With their vibrant colors and elegant feathers, they epitomize the Victorian era's fascination with poultry breeding and ornithology. This image provides a glimpse into the world of game birds and show birds during that time period when hen fever was at its peak. Cockfighting was a popular pastime, making these American Wyandottes highly sought after due to their exceptional qualities as players in such games. As we admire this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with exotic creatures like these American Wyandotte chickens. Their beauty transcends time, capturing our imagination just as they did over a century ago when Lewis Wright included them in his renowned publication "The Illustrated Book of Poultry". Bridgeman Images presents us with an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistry behind this chromolithograph but also the historical significance it holds within the realm of Victorian-era poultry breeding and avian appreciation.
