EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a proud Buff Cochin Cock, a breed of domestic fowl that was the epitome of Victorian-era poultry fancying. The Buff Cochin, with its distinctive fluffy, mop-like plumage and elegant, curved comb, was a popular choice for avian enthusiasts during the late 19th century. The image, created by Vincent Brooks Day & Son after an illustration by J.W. Ludlow, was originally published in Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry in 1890 by Cassell, London. The Victorian craze for ornithology and exotic breeding had reached fever pitch, and the Buff Cochin was just one of many breeds that captivated the public's imagination. The Buff Cochin was not only admired for its striking appearance but also for its excellent qualities as a game bird and a show specimen. The breed originated in China, and its exotic origins only added to its allure. The intricate details of the bird's plumage are beautifully captured in this chromolithograph, with each feather appearing as if it could be plucked from the page. This print is a testament to the passion and dedication of the Victorian poultry fanciers, who took great pride in their birds and sought to breed and exhibit the most exceptional specimens. The Buff Cochin Cock remains an iconic symbol of this fascinating period in the history of poultry keeping and ornithology.
