The Regal Partridge Italian Chicken A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This remarkable 19th century chromolithograph features a pair of Partridge Italian chickens, a breed admired for its striking plumage, graceful build, and lively temperament. The print, titled Patrijsveer-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 an extensive guide to poultry breeding, detailing both functional and ornamental breeds highly regarded in the 19th century. Partridge Italian chickens are a visually striking variety, displaying a rich combination of deep golden-brown, black, and chestnut hues. The rooster in this lithograph stands with an imposing posture, exhibiting its glossy black tail feathers and vibrant golden saddle feathers. The hens are equally beautiful, featuring finely patterned feathering on their backs and wings, transitioning into a warm golden-brown on their chests. This variety is not only known for its beauty but also for its excellent egg-laying abilities and hardy nature, making it a favorite among poultry breeders. This lithograph was created using chromolithography, a highly skilled 19th-century printing process that allowed for vibrant, multi-colored illustrations. The artwork is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a well-known animal illustrator of the time. Chromolithography involved layering multiple colors, each applied with a separate stone plate, to achieve depth, shading, and fine detail. The precision in rendering the intricate feather textures and the interplay of light and shadow in this lithograph highlights the mastery of this technique. Condition Summary The print remains in very good condition, with its colors still rich and vibrant. Some minor age-related toning and light foxing are visible along the edges, a common characteristic of lithographs from this period. The paper is stable with minimal signs of wear, making it a valuable collectible for antique poultry print...

The Distinguished Black Dutch White-Crested Chicken A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This striking 19th century chromolithograph showcases a pair of Black Dutch White-Crested chickens, an ornamental breed admired for its elegant black plumage, dramatic white crest, and refined posture. The print, titled Zwarte Hollandsche Witkuiven, 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 an extensive study of poultry breeding, highlighting both practical and decorative breeds that were highly valued in the 19th century. The White-Crested Black Dutch chicken is closely related to the Polish breed, sharing its distinctive feathered crest but with a stronger historical connection to the Netherlands. These birds were particularly favored for their striking contrast of jet black plumage and a full, bright white crest, making them highly desirable for ornamental poultry collections. The breed was known for its calm nature, excellent foraging ability, and consistent white egg production. This lithograph was produced using chromolithography, a highly detailed 19th century printing technique that allowed for richly colored and finely rendered illustrations. The artwork is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a renowned animal illustrator of the time. Chromolithographs were created by layering multiple colors, each applied with a separate stone plate, ensuring depth and realism in the final print. The intricate feather detailing and dramatic contrast between the birds' black bodies and snowy white crests in this print highlight the craftsmanship involved in this technique. Condition Summary The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and intricate 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...
