EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the majestic Sultan fowls, also known as Gallus gallus domesticus. The print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, is a stunning example of Victorian ornithology and poultry breeding. The illustration comes from Lewis Wright's renowned book, "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" which was published by Cassell in London during the late 19th century. This particular artwork beautifully captures the exotic nature of these crested chickens with their vibrant plumage and regal presence. During this era, hen fever was at its peak, with enthusiasts passionately engaging in cockfighting and showcasing these show birds in various games. The Sultan fowls were highly sought after for their striking appearance and unique characteristics. As we admire this image today, it transports us back to a time when game birds like the Sultan fowls held a special place in society's fascination with nature's beauty. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity that flourished during the Victorian era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate and celebrate our rich heritage in poultry breeding while reminding us of the timeless allure of these magnificent creatures.
