EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the stunning Andalusian chickens, a breed of Gallus gallus domesticus. The print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, is a testament to the Victorian fascination with ornithology and poultry breeding. The image features a proud cock and hen with their exquisite plumage on full display. These particular birds were bred by H. Leworthy and achieved great success at the Barnstaple competitions in 1871 and 1872, winning first prizes for their exceptional qualities. Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry served as the inspiration for this artwork, which was published by Cassell in London. It captures not only the beauty of these exotic show birds but also reflects the era's enthusiasm for game birds and cockfighting. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this chromolithograph transports us back to an era when "hen fever" was rampant among poultry enthusiasts. It offers a glimpse into a world where people found joy in observing these magnificent creatures playfully engaging with one another. Whether you are an admirer of fine art or have an interest in ornithology, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it a valuable addition to any collection or decor style.
