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...
