The Birmingham Christmas Poultry Show, Prizes
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the festive season of 1854. This historical print, captured by Harrison William Weir, showcases the vibrant atmosphere and competitive spirit of the renowned poultry show in Birmingham. The image transports us to a bustling exhibition hall filled with an impressive array of birds from various breeds and regions. From Sutton Coldfield to Knotty Ash, these feathered contestants proudly display their unique features and plumage. The scene is alive with excitement as men gather around the grand display of prize-winning fowl. Amongst the crowd are notable figures such as Mr. Harrison Weir himself, who immortalized this momentous event through his artistry for The Illustrated London News. Miss Watts from Liverpool stands beside her prized Rouen Duck while Reverend A Donne admires a row of elegant Fantails. The engraving captures not only the beauty but also the diversity of avian species present at this prestigious show. From majestic Archangels and owls to charming Bantams and Chickens, each bird represents its breed's excellence in form and color. As snow gently falls outside on Birmingham's streets, visitors marvel at silver medals awarded to winners like Mr. Henry Worrall from Hants or Mr. C. H Titterton from Oswestry. This enchanting print serves as a window into history, reminding us of past traditions that celebrated both nature's wonders and human ingenuity in breeding magnificent poultry specimens for admiration and competition alike.
