EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Metropolitan Exhibition of Poultry and Pigeons, held in London in 1853. The image showcases a stunning array of prize-winning birds, meticulously illustrated by Harrison William Weir. In this bustling scene, we see an assortment of Australian pigeons, chickens, game fowl, and various other poultry breeds proudly displayed at Astley Burgh Hall. Each bird represents the dedication and expertise of its owner who tirelessly raised them to perfection. Amongst the notable winners are Mr. Estrange's blue turbits and Captain W Hornby's white fantails, both exquisitely depicted with intricate details. Additionally, Mr. H Thurnall's black fantails and Mr. A Grote's buff breed stand out as remarkable examples of avian beauty. The exhibition not only celebrated these magnificent creatures but also brought together enthusiasts from all walks of life – from Tooting to Royston – showcasing their prized livestock for public admiration. This engraving serves as a testament to the passion and commitment exhibited by breeders during this era while offering us a glimpse into the diverse world of poultry farming in Victorian England.
