EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1890 showcases the exquisite beauty of Henny or hennie game birds, also known as Gallus gallus domesticus. The print, created by J. W. Ludlow and reproduced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, is a stunning example of Victorian ornithology art. The illustration captures both the male and female specimens of these game birds in all their glory. The cock stands proudly with its vibrant plumage on full display, while the hen exudes elegance with her delicate features. Their intricate details are brought to life through the meticulous technique of chromolithography. Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry served as the inspiration for this artwork, which was published by Cassell in London during an era when poultry breeding and ornithology were popular pursuits among enthusiasts. This print reflects not only a fascination with exotic show birds but also highlights the cultural phenomenon known as "hen fever" that swept through society at that time. Whether admired for their aesthetic appeal or valued for their role in cockfighting games, these Henny or hennie game birds hold a special place in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when such creatures captivated imaginations and inspired admiration for nature's wonders.
