EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Vincent Brooks Day & Son in 1890 after an illustration by J.W. Ludlow, showcases a proud White-faced Black Spanish cock and hen, their vibrant plumage a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with exotic poultry breeding. The image is taken from Lewis Wright's "The Illustrated Book of Poultry," published by Cassell in London. The White-faced Black Spanish breed, also known as Dorking Fowl, was a popular choice for poultry shows during this time, with the Miss Fairhurst's White-faced Black Spanish cock and hen, shown here, being a prized winner at the Colchester Show in 1873. The intricately detailed cups for the chickens add an air of elegance and refinement to the scene. The White-faced Black Spanish breed, with its distinctive white face and black body, was a favorite among poultry enthusiasts for its ornamental value as well as its productivity. However, it's important to note that this image does not depict any form of cockfighting, which was a controversial practice during this time. The Victorian era saw a craze for ornithology and the breeding of various game birds and fowl, with poultry shows becoming a popular form of entertainment and social gathering. This stunning chromolithograph is a window into this fascinating period in history, offering a glimpse into the exotic and beautiful world of poultry breeding.
