EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases a stunning pair of Silver Spangled Hamburgh chickens, a Dutch breed known for their exquisite plumage. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, truly bring these game birds to life. The image depicts Henry Beldons' prize-winning cock and hen, who achieved remarkable success at various poultry shows in the late 19th century. Their triumphs include winning the Cup at Allerton in 1871, being the first hen at Birmingham in the same year, and securing another cup at Bristol in 1872. During the Victorian era, there was a craze for poultry breeding and ornithology among enthusiasts. This fascination with exotic breeds like the Silver Spangled Hamburghs led to an increase in popularity for show birds and fueled what became known as "hen fever". As you admire this print, take note of the regal posture of the cock with its impressive plumage proudly displayed. The delicate features of both birds are beautifully captured here – every feather meticulously rendered. Whether you appreciate it as a lover of fine art or have an interest in avian history, this chromolithograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when gallus gallus domesticus took center stage as players in games that captivated many hearts.
