EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print captures the beauty and elegance of two duck-winged game birds, Simon and Miss Etty. Bred by John Goodwin, these Gallus gallus domesticus are truly a sight to behold. Simon was a cup winner at the prestigious Birmingham show in 1885, while Miss Etty took home first prize at the Dairy Show that same year. The intricate detailing of their plumage is expertly depicted in this illustration by Vincent Brooks Day, featured in Lewis Wright's "The Illustrated Book of Poultry" from Cassell in 1890. This Victorian-era artwork showcases the height of poultry breeding and ornithology during a time when exotic show birds were all the rage. Simon and Miss Etty represent not only the pinnacle of poultry perfection but also serve as symbols of an era where hen fever and cockfighting were common pastimes. Their regal appearance and impeccable breeding make them true showstoppers on any farm or exhibition. Whether you're a fan of game birds or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate with its historical significance and exquisite detail. Display it proudly in your home or office to add a touch of vintage charm to your decor.
