EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a Dark Brahma pullet, a breed of domestic fowl that was the epitome of Victorian poultry fashion during the late 19th century. The Dark Brahma pullet, with its glossy black feathers and silver-spangled plumage, was a popular addition to many ornithological collections and poultry shows. This particular specimen, with its proud and regal posture, was awarded the first prize at the Birmingham Exhibition in 1871. The image is based on an illustration by J.W. Ludlow, from Lewis Wright's "The Illustrated Book of Poultry," published by Cassell in London in 1890. The illustration was produced by the renowned chromolithographic firm of Vincent Brooks Day & Son. The intricate detail and vibrant colors captured in the print are a testament to the skill and artistry of both the illustrator and the printers. The Dark Brahma pullet was just one of many exotic and ornate breeds of poultry that were in vogue during the Victorian era. The craze for breeding and exhibiting poultry reached fever pitch, with shows and competitions held in major cities across Europe and North America. The Dark Brahma, along with other breeds such as the Henry Beldon, Crystal Palace, and Silver Spangled Polish, were highly prized for their unique and eye-catching plumage. Despite their ornamental value, it is important to note that the popularity of poultry shows and breeding during this period was not without controversy. The practice of cockfighting, which was often associated with the poultry industry, was a contentious issue, and many animal welfare organizations and social reformers campaigned against it. Nevertheless, the Victorian obsession with poultry continued unabated, with breeders and collectors striving to create ever more exotic and beautiful varieties of domestic fowl.
