EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the elegant beauty of White-crested black Polish chickens, a breed that was highly sought after during the Victorian era. The print features a stunning cock and hen, bred by P. Unsworth and celebrated for their numerous cups and prizes. Created by J. W. Ludlow and brought to life through the skilled hands of Vincent Brooks Day & Son, this illustration is taken from Lewis Wright's renowned book, "The Illustrated Book of Poultry". It offers a glimpse into the world of poultry breeding and ornithology at the time. These exotic birds with their distinctive plumage were not only admired for their striking appearance but also valued in game bird competitions. Cockfighting was popular during this period, making these show birds even more coveted. The image transports us back to an era when hen fever swept across society as people indulged in various games involving hens. Whether it be play or competition, these magnificent creatures played a significant role in Victorian leisure activities. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of the intricate relationship between humans and animals throughout history. This chromolithograph captures both our fascination with nature's creations and our desire to showcase them through artistic expression.
