EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the striking beauty of black-breasted red game birds, bred by Captain Heaton and hailed as winners of two challenge cups at Birmingham in 1886. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, truly bring these exotic show birds to life. The Victorian era was a time when poultry breeding and ornithology were highly regarded, with enthusiasts often caught up in what was known as the "hen craze". This image is a testament to that fascination, capturing the essence of these magnificent creatures with their elaborate plumage. Both the cock and hen are depicted here, exuding an air of regality befitting their status as prize-winning game birds. Their presence evokes thoughts of traditional cockfighting games popular during that period. Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry served as the source for this illustration, which further adds to its historical significance. It offers a glimpse into a world where admiration for such avian wonders reached new heights. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic merit or find yourself captivated by the allure of these exquisite creatures, this chromolithograph transports us back to an era when "hen fever" reigned supreme and celebrates the timeless beauty found within nature's diverse creations.
