EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Dorking Cock and Hen," transports us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically 1919. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer and obtained from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the elegance and charm of the Dorking breed of poultry, which has a rich historical background. The Dorking breed, originating in the English county of Surrey, has been around since the late 18th century. Known for their distinctive appearance, Dorking chickens are characterized by their large, single combs, broad bodies, and feathered legs. The rooster, or cock, in this photograph proudly displays his vibrant, iridescent plumage, while the hen, with her softer, more subdued feathers, appears calm and content. The photograph not only showcases the physical attributes of these birds but also captures the essence of a bygone era. The setting, with its rustic background and natural lighting, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The image invites us to imagine the simple pleasures of rural life and the importance of poultry farming in the early 1900s. The Dorking breed has a long and storied history, with mentions in literature, such as in the works of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, and in art, including paintings by Sir Edwin Landseer. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of these birds and the role they played in the lives of people during a time when agriculture and self-sufficiency were the norm. In conclusion, this photograph of a Dorking Cock and Hen, taken in 1919, is a beautiful reminder of the past and the rich history of the Dorking breed. The image invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the importance of animals, such as chickens, in our history.
