EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1890 showcases a magnificent Rose-combed Dorking cock, a breed of domestic chicken known for its distinctive rose-shaped comb. The artist, J. W. Ludlow, captures the essence of this regal bird with intricate detail and vibrant colors. The illustration depicts John Martins Champion, an esteemed rooster who won numerous cups at prestigious poultry shows in Stroud, Newport, Cheltenham, Southampton, Crystal Palace, and Dublin during the early 1870s. His impressive plumage and confident stance make him a true showstopper. During the Victorian era, there was a craze for breeding ornamental poultry as part of the growing interest in ornithology. Game birds like this Rose-combed Dorking were highly sought after for their exotic appearance and elegant presence. This artwork is taken from Lewis Wright's renowned book "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" published by Cassell in London in 1890. Vincent Brooks Day & Son expertly reproduced Ludlow's original illustration using chromolithography techniques to bring out every intricate detail. Whether you are fascinated by game birds or simply appreciate the beauty found in nature's creations, this stunning print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a testament to both the skill of the artist and the allure of these remarkable creatures that have enchanted humans throughout history.
