EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases a stunning Buff Cochin hen, a breed of domestic chicken known for its distinctive plumage. Created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, this print is part of Lewis Wright's renowned publication, The Illustrated Book of Poultry. The Victorian era was marked by a fascination with poultry breeding and ornithology, leading to the "hen craze" that swept through society. This particular image captures the essence of the game bird and show bird culture that flourished during this time. The exotic nature of the Buff Cochin hen is evident in its vibrant colors and intricate details depicted in this artwork. Its feathers are beautifully displayed against an elegant backdrop, showcasing both the cock and hen varieties. Originating from China's Cochin China region, these chickens were highly sought after for their unique appearance and playfulness. Their popularity among enthusiasts gave rise to what was commonly referred to as "hen fever". This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the artistry involved in capturing not only the physical attributes but also the spirit of these magnificent creatures. It stands as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to preserve them through artistic expression.
