EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the exquisite beauty of Guinea fowls, specifically the helmeted guineafowl species known as Numida meleagris. The print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with ornithology and poultry breeding. The illustration comes from Lewis Wright's renowned publication, "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" which was published in London by Cassell in 1890. It depicts these exotic game birds in all their glory, highlighting their striking plumage and distinctive features. During this time period, there was a hen craze that swept through society, leading to an increased interest in raising and showcasing various breeds of chickens and other fowl. Guinea fowls were highly sought after for their unique appearance and playful nature. This particular artwork captures both a male (cock) and female (hen) guinea fowl engaging in what appears to be a lively game or play session. The vibrant colors used in the chromolithograph bring out every intricate detail of these magnificent creatures. As we admire this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to an era where people found joy not only in playing games but also appreciating the natural world around them - even within their own backyard.
