Domestic Fowl, c1850 - A Glimpse into Victorian Farm Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins takes us back to the charming countryside of 19th-century Britain. The central image showcases a proud cockerel surrounded by hens and adorable chicks, symbolizing the essence of domestic fowl. The vignettes encircling the main illustration offer a glimpse into various aspects of rural life during this era. From bustling markets where chickens were bought and sold to a farmer's wife tending to her poultry yard, every scene depicts the vital role that these feathered creatures played in agriculture. Eggs being collected from nesting boxes and poulterers' shops highlight their significance as a staple food source for families. Meanwhile, chickens roasting on spits remind us of mouthwatering feasts enjoyed by both rich and poor alike. Beyond sustenance, feathers found their way into everyday life too. Mattresses and pillows filled with soft plumage provided comfort while children amused themselves playing shuttlecock, an early form of badminton. Interestingly, even military uniforms incorporated tail feathers as decorative cockades. This fusion of nature and human culture is beautifully captured in this lithograph print published by Thomas Varty. As we admire this snapshot from history preserved through artistry, let it transport us to an era when people relied on these magnificent birds not only for nourishment but also for inspiration in daily life.
