EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the majestic beauty of a Wild American turkey cock, scientifically known as Meleagris gallopavo. 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". Commissioned by Mr. Simpson, Treasurer of the New York State Poultry Society, this artwork captures the essence of this exotic game bird with intricate detail and vibrant colors. Its plumage is displayed in all its glory, showcasing the wild turkey's unique features that have fascinated ornithologists for centuries. During the Victorian era, poultry breeding became a popular hobby among enthusiasts who were captivated by these beautiful creatures. This print serves as a testament to this hen craze and highlights the significance placed on show birds within society. While cockfighting was prevalent during that time period, it is important to appreciate this artwork for its aesthetic value rather than promoting any form of animal cruelty or bloodsport. As you gaze upon this stunning image captured over a century ago, let yourself be transported back in time to an era where games were played with grace and elegance - a true reflection of our fascination with nature's wonders.
