EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the exquisite beauty of Brown Leghorns or Livorno chickens, also known as Gallus gallus domesticus. The print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, is a remarkable illustration featured in Lewis Wright's renowned publication, "The Illustrated Book of Poultry". In this Victorian-era masterpiece, we are transported to a world where poultry breeding and ornithology were at the forefront of fascination. The image captures the essence of these exotic birds with their striking plumage and elegant stature. Whether admired for their game bird qualities or showcased as show birds, these Livornese chickens certainly captivated the hearts of enthusiasts during what was famously known as the "hen craze". As we delve into this artwork, one can't help but appreciate the intricate details that bring each feathered creature to life. From the majestic cock proudly displaying his vibrant colors to the graceful hen standing beside him, every element exudes elegance and charm. While cockfighting may have been prevalent during this era, it is important to note that this artwork celebrates these creatures purely for their aesthetic appeal rather than any association with such practices. Instead, it invites us to revel in nature's splendor through playful imagery.
