EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking chromolithograph depicts an Ayam Jallak, a Malay game cock, proudly displayed against a lush, tropical backdrop. The Ayam Jallak, also known as the Malay Game Fowl, is a breed of domestic chicken native to Southeast Asia. This particular specimen boasts an impressive crest of feathers atop its head, adding to its regal appearance. The image is taken from "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" by Lewis Wright, published by Cassell in London in 1890. The book was a popular Victorian-era reference for avian enthusiasts, showcasing various breeds of chickens and other fowl. This print was produced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, a renowned English chromolithography firm. The Ayam Jallak was a favorite among collectors and breeders during the late 19th century, with many exhibiting their prized birds at shows and competitions. This print may have been owned by an avid poultry fancier or ornithologist, reflecting the obsession with breeding and collecting exotic fowl during that era. The intricate details of the plumage and the vibrant colors in the print are a testament to the skill of the native Chinese artist who originally illustrated the Ayam Jallak for the book. The bird's intense gaze and the glint in its eye suggest its readiness for a cockfight, a controversial practice that was popular during that time. This print offers a glimpse into the exotic and alluring world of Victorian-era poultry breeding and the fascination with collecting rare and unusual fowl. The Ayam Jallak, with its distinctive plumage and regal bearing, remains an intriguing and captivating subject even today.
