EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the exquisite beauty of Golden-pencilled Hamburghs, a breed of chicken known for their stunning plumage. Created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, this print is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with ornithology and poultry breeding. The image features a proud cock and hen, both shining examples of Gallus gallus domesticus, bred by Henry Beldon and celebrated as cup winners at Crystal Palace in 1871. Their vibrant golden feathers catch the light, creating an enchanting spectacle that would have surely captivated audiences during the height of the "hen craze". Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry serves as the source material for this artwork, offering detailed illustrations that showcase each bird's unique characteristics. This particular print transports us back to a time when game birds like these were not only admired for their exotic appearance but also valued for their potential in cockfighting competitions. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the intricate world of Victorian poultry breeding and its impact on society's fascination with show birds. Whether you're an enthusiast or simply appreciate nature's diverse beauty, this chromolithograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era where even chickens could be considered works of art.
