EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an array of Gallus gallus domesticus breeds, the common domestic chicken. The image features a German cock (rooster) with a vibrant red comb and wattles, a hen with intricately patterned feathers, an English cock with a sleek black and white plumage, a tailless cock with distinctive red feathers, a Polish hen with her characteristic ear tufts, and a bantam cock and hen, the smallest of the chickens. The intricate details of each bird's features are beautifully captured in this historical illustration, providing a glimpse into the diverse range of chicken breeds that were known during the late 18th century. The engraving's handcoloring adds an extra layer of detail and visual appeal, making it a fascinating piece of poultry history. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of poultry keeping but also as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the common chicken.
