EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Birmingham Show 1858" takes us back in time to a bustling exhibition of avian wonders. The image showcases an array of exquisite birds, each vying for attention with their vibrant plumage and unique features. It is evident that this event was a celebration of the beauty and diversity found within the avian kingdom. In the foreground, we see Mr. Adkin proudly displaying his prized Polish Cock, which has claimed the prestigious first prize at the Birmingham Show. Surrounding him are various other feathered champions including pigeons, chickens, owl pigeons, Dorking fowls, fantails, almond tumbler pigeons, Jacobine pigeons, carriers, Spanish fowls and more. Their presence creates a lively atmosphere filled with chirps and coos. The centerpiece of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly the magnificent Silver Cup awarded to Captain Hornby for his exceptional poultry collection. This trophy gleams under the spotlight as it symbolizes excellence in breeding and care. As our eyes wander across the print's intricate details and delicate lines meticulously etched by Harrison William Weir (1824-1906), we can almost hear whispers among spectators discussing their favorite exhibits. From second-prize winners like Mr. Worrall's Nun to notable figures such as Mr. G Moss - a respected poulterer - every participant contributes to this grand display of avian splendor. "Birmingham Show 1858" immortalizes not only
