EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases a stunning pair of Silver Spangled Polish cock and hen. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring these magnificent birds to life, capturing the essence of their beauty. The artist, J. W. Ludlow, skillfully depicts Henry Beldons' prize-winning duo that triumphed at both the Crystal Palace in 1871 and Dublin in 1872. This illustration was later reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son for Lewis Wright's renowned book on poultry. During the Victorian era, there was an intense fascination with ornithology and poultry breeding. The "hen craze" swept across society as people became enamored with exotic game birds like these Polish chickens. Their unique plumage made them highly sought after among enthusiasts. Cockfighting was a popular pastime during this time, but these elegant creatures were not bred for combat; they were show birds meant to be admired for their striking appearance rather than engaged in fierce battles. As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but appreciate the delicate balance between playfulness and regality that is captured within each bird's stance. They exude confidence while maintaining an air of gracefulness. This image serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and the timeless allure of these remarkable creatures.
