EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1890 showcases a stunning Buff Cochin Cock, a breed of domestic chicken known for its ornate plumage and exotic appearance. Created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, this illustration is featured in Lewis Wright's renowned book, "The Illustrated Book of Poultry". During the Victorian era, there was a craze for poultry breeding and an obsession with hens among enthusiasts. This print captures the essence of that time when hen fever swept across society. The Buff Cochin Cock symbolizes the beauty and elegance sought after in game birds during this period. With its vibrant colors meticulously rendered through chromolithography, this artwork brings to life the intricate details of the cock's feathers and features. Its regal presence evokes images of cockfighting arenas where these magnificent creatures would showcase their strength and agility. Beyond its historical significance, this image also highlights cultural influences as it depicts a Chinese breed called Cochin China. The fusion between Eastern aesthetics and Western fascination with exoticism is evident in both the bird's appearance and playfulness captured within the scene. Whether you are an admirer of fine art or have an interest in ornithology, this remarkable print offers a glimpse into Victorian-era poultry breeding while celebrating nature's diverse beauty through Ludlow's skillful illustration technique.
