EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases two distinctive waterfowl species, the Black East India Duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and the Black Cayuga Duck (Anas rubripes), as they were exhibited during the Victorian era. The image, created 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, transports us back to a time when the breeding and exhibition of exotic fowl was a popular pastime and ornithology was a feverish pursuit. The Black East India Duck, also known as the Rouen Duck, is depicted in its regal splendor, with its glossy black plumage and distinctive white stripes on its sides. This breed, which originated in Europe, was favored for its fine table qualities and was a regular winner in poultry shows. In this instance, the Black East India Duck, owned by Fowler, took home the cup at the prestigious show in Bristol in 1872. The Black Cayuga Ducks, sent from New York by Mr. Simpson, are displayed in their striking, uniformly black plumage. These ducks, native to North America, were highly prized for their unique appearance and were often kept in ornamental ponds. The Black Cayuga Duck's dark plumage, which is particularly striking against the water, made them a popular choice for those seeking to add an exotic touch to their estates. This image offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian poultry shows, where breeding and exhibiting exotic fowl reached new heights, and where the pursuit of ornithological knowledge was a source of great pride and enjoyment.
