EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Golden spangled Polish cock and hen, 1890" takes us back to the Victorian era when poultry breeding was a popular pastime. The image showcases Henry Beldons' prize-winning pair of Golden Spangled Polish chickens, exhibited at the Crystal Palace in Birmingham in 1871. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this print are a testament to the skillful work of J. W. Ludlow, whose illustration was brought to life by Vincent Brooks Day & Son through the technique of chromolithography. The feathers on both the cock and hen are beautifully depicted, highlighting their exotic plumage that made them stand out among other game birds. During this period, there was a craze for ornithology and show birds like these were highly sought after. Cockfighting was also prevalent during that time but it's important to note that this artwork does not depict such activities explicitly. Lewis Wright's book "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" featured this stunning piece as part of its collection dedicated to various breeds of chickens. Published by Cassell in London in 1890, it became an essential resource for enthusiasts interested in poultry breeding. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate how it captures a moment in history when people found joy and fascination in raising these magnificent creatures – an art form that continues to thrive today.
