EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases a stunning Partridge Cochin Cock, an exquisite specimen of the Gallus gallus domesticus breed. The print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, is part of Lewis Wright's renowned publication "The Illustrated Book of Poultry". The Partridge Cochin Cock depicted in this image was named E. Tudmans Talbot and achieved great acclaim as the winner of first prizes at both Birmingham in 1870 and Kendal in 1871. Its remarkable plumage, with rich hues blending into intricate patterns, makes it a true showstopper. During the Victorian era, there was a fervent interest in poultry breeding and ornithology known as the "hen craze". This print exemplifies the fascination with exotic game birds that captivated enthusiasts during this time. Cochin China hens were particularly sought after for their unique appearance and gentle nature. They became popular playmates among Chinese nobility before being introduced to Europe where they quickly gained popularity among poultry breeders. Whether admired for its striking beauty or appreciated within the context of historical trends in hen fever and cockfighting culture, this chromolithograph offers a glimpse into a fascinating period when these magnificent creatures took center stage.
