EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the exquisite beauty of Toulouse geese with dewlap, a cock and hen. Bred by the renowned James Watts, these geese were not only winners of five first prizes but also symbols of Victorian ornithology and poultry breeding. The detailed illustration by J. W. Ludlow, brought to life through Vincent Brooks Day & Son's masterful chromolithography technique, captures every intricate detail of their plumage. The Toulouse geese in this print are oie de Toulouse a bavette, scientifically known as Anser anser domesticus. These game birds were highly sought after for their exotic appearance and impressive size. Their distinctive dewlaps add to their allure, making them stand out among other breeds. Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry served as the source for this remarkable artwork that now graces our eyes. Published by Cassell in London during the late 19th century, it became an essential reference for enthusiasts caught up in the "hen fever" craze. As we admire this print today, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a reminder of how humans have long been fascinated by nature's wonders and have strived to capture their beauty through various mediums like this stunning chromolithograph.
