EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Dark Brahma Cockerel, a prize-winning bird from the Victorian era. The Dark Brahma, also known as the Dark Hamburgh or Dark Hollands, is a breed of domestic fowl that originated in India and was first imported to Europe in the late 1800s. The cockerel in this image, named Lady Gwydyr's Sultan, was a revived variety of the breed that won first prize at the Crystal Palace, Birmingham, in 1871, as well as at the shows in Edinburgh, Manchester, and Bristol in 1872. The Dark Brahma Cockerel is characterized by its rich, dark plumage, with black feathers covering its body and bright red eyes. The breed was particularly popular during the Victorian hen craze, a period of intense interest in poultry breeding and ornithology. The exotic appearance of the Dark Brahma, with its luxurious plumage and impressive size, made it a favorite among poultry enthusiasts. The illustration for this print was created by J.W. Ludlow and published in Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry in 1890. The print was produced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, a renowned British chromolithographic firm. The intricate details of the Dark Brahma Cockerel's feathers and the elegant composition of the image make this a beautiful and captivating representation of a prized bird from a bygone era. Despite its ornamental value, it is important to note that the Dark Brahma, like many other breeds of poultry during this time, was also used for game and cockfighting. The fascination with poultry breeding during the Victorian era led to the development of many unique and exotic varieties, some of which continue to be popular today.
