EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a proud Malay Cock and Hen, Gallus gallus domesticus, adorned with exquisite plumage and holding prized titles from various poultry shows during the Victorian era. The Malay breed, also known as the Javasica or Cochin-China fowl, was a popular exotic addition to poultry collections during the late 19th century. Rev. A.C. Brookes' pair of Malay fowl, the victorious Julius and Sichel, captured the attention of audiences at the Crystal Palace and Birmingham shows in 1871. Their success continued at the Dublin show in 1872, where they were awarded prestigious cups. The image, an illustration by J.W. Ludlow, was published in Lewis Wright's The Illustrated Book of Poultry, a comprehensive guide to various poultry breeds, by Cassell, London, in 1890. The Victorian craze for ornithology and breeding led to an intense focus on the appearance and performance of poultry. This chromolithograph, produced by Vincent Brooks Day & Son, showcases the intricacies of the Malay breed's plumage and the regal bearing of the champion cock and queen hen. The exotic allure of the Malay breed, with its rich colors and full, fluffy feathers, fueled the passion for game birds and added to the overall excitement of poultry shows. The image also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of these events and the role they played in the development of poultry breeding. Despite the contemporary debate surrounding the ethics of cockfighting, these shows provided a platform for the exhibition and appreciation of various poultry breeds, ultimately contributing to the advancement of poultry science and agriculture.
