EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Exhibition of Cage-Birds at the Crystal Palace" takes us back to a time when bird shows were a popular form of entertainment. Created by an unknown English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a stunning array of colorful and exotic avian species. The Crystal Palace, renowned for its grandeur and architectural beauty, serves as the backdrop for this vibrant display. From piping bullfinches to long-tailed glossy starlings, lemon-crested cockatoos to diamond sparrow cocks, every corner of the cage is filled with feathered wonders from around the world. As we observe this scene closely, we notice several individuals who are responsible for these magnificent creatures. Mr. R. J. Troake, Miss Maria Judd, Major Edwards, Miss Nora Mohr - their dedication and expertise have made this exhibition possible. Bird enthusiasts flock to witness this spectacle where even tiny parrots and Belgian canaries find their place among larger tropical birds like macaws and Abyssinian helmet birds. The blackbird's melodious song resonates through the air while bearded tits flutter gracefully in their cages. This engraving captures not only the beauty but also highlights the passion that exists within bird lovers as they proudly exhibit their prized possessions at such events. It provides us with a glimpse into London's rich cultural history during an era when exhibitions like these were highly anticipated social gatherings. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate and
