EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases three distinct breeds of bantams - Japanese, black, and Pekin - that were the epitome of exoticism during the Victorian era. The image, produced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son after an illustration by J.W. Ludlow for Lewis Wright's "The Illustrated Book of Poultry," published by Cassell, London, in 1890, offers a glimpse into the height of the bantam craze during this period. The Japanese White Bantams, represented in the foreground, were a prized breed, as evidenced by Mrs. Woodcock's first-prize win at the Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1872. The Black Bantams, depicted in the middle, were equally sought after, with E. Cambridges' cup-winning achievement at the Bristol Show in 1873. H.B. Smith's Peking Bantams, displayed in the background, took the limelight at the Wolverhampton Show in the same year. The intricate plumage of these bantams, with their crested heads and vibrant colors, was a source of fascination for poultry enthusiasts and collectors alike. Ornithology and game birds were popular pastimes during this era, and the breeding and showing of these exotic fowls added to the allure. Although the origins of these breeds are rooted in Asia, their popularity in Europe led to their widespread adoption and adaptation. Despite their ornamental value, it's essential to remember that bantams, like their larger counterparts, were also used for cockfighting, which was a common practice during this time. The fascination with these birds, fueled by their exoticism, plumage, and the competitive spirit of showing, contributed to their widespread popularity and the enduring legacy of bantam breeding.
