EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of Silkie chickens, a Cockerel and a Hen, dating back to September 1861. The image is taken from "Le Magasin Pittoresque", a renowned French publication that beautifully captured the essence of rural life during the 19th century. The Silkie breed is instantly recognizable with its distinct silky plumage and striking appearance. This particular Cockerel and Hen exhibit all the characteristic features of this unique breed - their feathers are soft, fluffy, and resemble fine silk threads. Their dark coloration adds an air of mystery to their already enchanting presence. Charles Emile Jacque Tamisier skillfully captures the charm of these farm animals in his wood engraving. His attention to detail brings out every feather on their bodies, showcasing the intricate patterns that make them so visually appealing. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into rural France during the 19th century when poultry farming was an integral part of country life. Whether you're an admirer of avian beauty or simply fascinated by history, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless appeal.
