Exhibition of the Birmingham and Midland Counties Agricultural Association... 1850. Creator: Unknown
Exhibition of the Birmingham and Midland Counties Agricultural Association - American Turkeys - First Prize; Grey Geese - First Prize, 1850. Such a display of poultry, of all kinds and sizes, we have never seen collected together before as on Tuesday in Broad-street. 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, with their never-ending diversities of breed, 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the annals of the Birmingham and Midland Counties Agricultural Association's Exhibition of 1850, presents a breathtaking display of poultry that once graced the streets of Broad-street. The image, a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the era, showcases a diverse array of fowl, from the elegant Dorking to the exotic Cochin China and Malay breeds, and the regal Spanish and Polish varieties, all the way to the humble Hamburgh. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of geese, ducks, and even pigeons, each showcasing their unique characteristics. Amidst this vibrant avian spectacle, a select group of high-spirited gamecocks proudly strut their stuff, their shrill clarion notes adding to the cacophony of the bustling exhibition. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, when such a diverse collection of poultry would have been a rare sight to behold. The general attractions of the show drew together a large number of visitors, all of whom were undoubtedly thrilled by the excellent arrangements and the opportunity to witness such a remarkable display of poultry varieties.
