EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases two majestic Plymouth Rock chickens named Sir Thomas and Irene. Bred by Mrs. Ainsworth, these prize-winning birds were the stars of the Birmingham 1886 poultry show. The artist, J. W. Ludlow, beautifully captures their regal presence and intricate plumage in this illustration for Lewis Wright's renowned book on poultry. The Victorian era was marked by a fascination with ornithology and game birds, making this print a true representation of the hen craze that swept through society during that time. Plymouth Rock chickens were an American breed known for their versatility as both meat and egg producers. Vincent Brooks Day & Son expertly transformed Ludlow's illustration into a vibrant chromolithograph, showcasing every detail of these exquisite creatures. The rich colors and meticulous attention to detail make this print truly mesmerizing. Whether you are a fan of poultry breeding or simply appreciate the beauty of exotic animals, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a testament to the artistry involved in capturing nature's wonders on paper. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to admire these magnificent creatures over a century later. Let yourself be transported back in time as you gaze upon Sir Thomas and Irene – two remarkable representatives of their species captured forever in this stunning chromolithograph.
