Exhibition of the Birmingham and Midland Counties Agricultural Association...1850. Creator: Harrison Weir
Exhibition of the Birmingham and Midland Counties Agricultural Association - Silver-Spangled Hamburg Fowls - First Prize; Poland Fowls - First Prize and Extra Silver Medal, 1850. From "Illustrated London News", 1850. Such a display of poultry, of all kinds and sizes, we have never seen collected together before...From Dorking to Cochin China and Malay, from Spain to Poland and Hamburgh, every variety was splendidly represented. There were geese, ducks, and turkeys, too, of all kinds; and even pigeons...were not excluded from the collection. Among the whole, a choice selection of high-spirited gamecocks kept up, throughout the entire day, a well-sustained chorus of their "shrill clarion" notes. The general attractions of the Show drew together on Tuesday a large number of visitors, who were all highly pleased with the excellent arrangements laid down for the occasion. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
