Black Zevenbergen Naked Neck Chickens A Striking 19th-Century Poultry Print This rare and visually striking 19th-century chromolithograph, titled Zwarte Zevenbergsche Naakthalzen met Rozenkam, depicts the Black Zevenbergen Naked Neck, a rare and distinctive breed known for its featherless neck. Published in 1888 as part of Geïllustreerd Hoenderboek by Elsevier, this illustration is one of 40 finely detailed poultry prints based on the artwork of Christian Förster. The book, edited for the Dutch market by Dr. A. C. Oudemans Jzn., served as a key reference on poultry farming, covering topics from coop construction to disease prevention. The Naked Neck, or Turken, is an unusual breed that originated in Central Europe and was further developed in the Netherlands and Belgium. Despite their turkey-like appearance, these birds are pure chickens. The lack of feathers on their necks results from a dominant gene, making them particularly suited for warm climates, as they regulate heat better than fully feathered breeds. They were valued for their dual-purpose qualities, excelling in both meat production and egg-laying. This illustration beautifully captures the unique appearance of the Zevenbergen variety, with its deep black plumage exhibiting an iridescent sheen and the stark contrast of its bare red neck. The rooster stands tall, its robust frame and rose comb giving it an air of confidence, while the hen, foraging in the foreground, showcases the breed’s characteristic practicality. The lush pastoral backdrop, painted with soft atmospheric perspective, adds depth and naturalism to the composition. ### The Art of Chromolithography This print was produced using chromolithography, a labor-intensive printing method that involved layering multiple colors onto a stone plate, each requiring precise registration to achieve depth and vibrancy. This technique was highly prized in the late 19th century for its ability to create richly detailed and colored illustrations, making it ideal for scientific and agricultural publications. The meticulous shading and texture in this print highlight the exceptional skill of the artist and printer in rendering lifelike poultry portraits. Condition Summary This lithograph remains in good condition, retaining its vivid colors and intricate details. There are minor signs of age, including light foxing along the margins, which is typical for prints of this era. The paper is stable with no significant tears or creases. Framing Tips To preserve and elegantly display this historical poultry illustration, consider the following framing suggestions - Use an acid-free mat in ivory or light cream to complement the warm tones of the print - A dark wood or black frame will enhance the contrast of the deep plumage and red neck - UV-resistant museum glass is recommended to protect the print from light damage - Position the print in a space with stable humidity and avoid direct sunlight to maintain its condition This print is a fascinating piece of poultry history, showcasing a rare breed that continues to intrigue chicken enthusiasts and breeders today. Its combination of scientific accuracy and artistic detail makes it a valuable addition to any collection of antique animal illustrations...

The Striking Cuckoo Italian Chicken A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This exquisite 19th century chromolithograph features a pair of Cuckoo Italian chickens, a breed distinguished by its beautiful barred plumage, elegant body shape, and alert expression. The print, titled Koekoeksvêer Italianen, originates from Geïllustreerd Hoenderboek, an Illustrated Poultry Book published in 1888 by Elsevier. Compiled by Julius Volschau and adapted for Dutch readers by Dr. A. C. Oudemans Jzn., this book provided a comprehensive guide to poultry breeding, showcasing both practical and ornamental breeds that were highly valued in the 19th century. Cuckoo feathering, also known as barring, is a striking pattern where alternating bands of dark and light feathers create a rippling effect across the body. This coloration was favored in many European breeds for its camouflage benefits and visual appeal. The rooster in this lithograph stands with a commanding presence, displaying bold barring throughout its body and tail, while the hen exhibits a more subtle but equally refined version of this striking pattern. Both birds have bright red combs and wattles, providing a dramatic contrast to their cool-toned feathers. This lithograph was created using chromolithography, a sophisticated 19th century printing process that allowed for richly detailed and vibrantly colored illustrations. The artwork is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a skilled animal illustrator of the time. Chromolithographs were produced by layering multiple colors, each applied with a separate stone plate, ensuring depth and realism in the final print. The detailed rendering of the barring pattern and subtle shading in this lithograph highlights the craftsmanship involved in this technique. Condition Summary The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and sharp details. Some minor age related toning and light foxing spots are visible, particularly along the edges, which is common in lithographs of this period. The paper remains stable, with minimal signs of wear, making this an excellent collectible piece for antique poultry print...

The Proud Game Fowl A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph , 1888 This striking 19th century chromolithograph features a pair of game fowl, a breed known for its sleek, muscular build, long legs, and vibrant plumage. The print, titled Strijdhoenders, originates from Geïllustreerd Hoenderboek, an Illustrated Poultry Book published in 1888 by Elsevier. Compiled by Julius Volschau and adapted for Dutch readers by Dr. A. C. Oudemans Jzn., this book provided a detailed guide to poultry breeding, selection, and care, reflecting the significant role of game birds in both history and poultry exhibitions. Game fowl are among the oldest chicken breeds, with origins tracing back thousands of years to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Known for their exceptional agility and strong survival instincts, these birds were bred for their resilience and striking appearance. The rooster in this lithograph showcases the classic attributes of a game bird, with its slender frame, arched tail, and sharp, alert gaze. Its plumage features deep iridescent greens, fiery reds, and golden hues, creating a visually stunning contrast. The hen, though smaller, exhibits the same streamlined build with a warm brown and black feather pattern. This lithograph was produced using chromolithography, a meticulous 19th century printing technique that allowed for vibrant and finely detailed illustrations. The artwork is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a renowned animal illustrator of the period. Chromolithographs were created by layering multiple colors, each applied with a separate stone plate, ensuring depth and realism in the final print. The careful rendering of the game fowl’s smooth feather texture and bold coloring highlights the craftsmanship involved in this technique. Condition Summary The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and sharp details. Some minor age related toning and light foxing spots are visible, particularly along the edges, which is common in lithographs of this period.

The Distinctive La Flèche Chicken A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This remarkable 19th century chromolithograph showcases a pair of La Flèche chickens, an elegant and rare French breed known for its striking V-shaped comb, sleek black plumage, and excellent meat quality.

Compiled by Julius Volschau and adapted for Dutch readers by Dr. A. C. Oudemans Jzn., this book provided an in-depth guide to poultry breeding, care, and selection, reflecting the growing demand for high quality meat and egg producing breeds during the 19th century. La Flèche chickens are one of the most unique European breeds, originating in the Loire Valley of France. They are best known for their distinctive horn-shaped comb, which gives them a regal and almost devilish appearance. These birds were historically favored by French markets for their fine-textured meat, which was considered among the best of any poultry breed.
