EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph from 1872 captures the beauty of a Black Hamburgh cock and hen, proudly owned by Rev. W. Sergeantson and awarded first prize at prestigious poultry shows in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Bristol. The intricate detailing of their glossy black plumage and elegant stature is a testament to the skillful artistry of the illustrator.
The image transports us back to a time when poultry breeding was a popular pastime among Victorian enthusiasts, fueling what was known as the "hen craze" of the era. These prized birds were not only symbols of status and success but also representations of meticulous care and dedication in raising them to perfection.
Vincent Brooks Day's masterful work on this illustration for Lewis Wright's "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" showcases the craftsmanship that went into capturing every feather and feature with precision. The vibrant colors bring these regal birds to life on paper, making them appear almost lifelike in their majesty.
As we admire this historical print, we are reminded of an era where attention to detail and passion for breeding exquisite fowl reigned supreme. It serves as a timeless reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's creations and our desire to preserve their beauty for generations to come.
