EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases a stunning pair of Golden Spangled Hamburgh cock and hen, beautifully illustrated by J. W. Ludlow. The intricate details of their plumage are brought to life through the vibrant colors and meticulous artistry of Vincent Brooks Day & Son. These regal birds were part of Henry Beldons' prized collection, with the cock winning the prestigious cup at Birmingham in 1870, while the hen claimed victory at Kendal, Whitehouse, and Spalding in 1871. Their remarkable achievements solidified their status as show birds within the world of poultry breeding. During this Victorian era, there was a widespread fascination with ornithology and game birds like these Golden Spangled Hamburghs. Their exotic appearance and striking plumage made them highly sought after among enthusiasts. Cockfighting was also a popular pastime during this time period, although it is important to note that this print does not depict any violent or cruel activities associated with such practices. Instead, it captures the beauty and grace of these creatures in their natural state. Lewis Wright's "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" served as an authoritative resource for those interested in poultry breeding during that era. This chromolithograph is a testament to both Ludlow's artistic talent and Wright's dedication to documenting various breeds. Overall, this image transports us back to a time when hen fever swept across society – where people marveled at the elegance and allure of these
