The Proud Game Fowl - A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
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 paper remains stable, with minimal signs of wear, making this an excellent piece for collectors of antique poultry...

The Regal Partridge Italian Chicken - A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
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...

Burbot, Ling, and Blue Ling - Unique Scandinavian Eel-like Fish Lithograph, 1895
Located in Langweer, NL
Burbot, Ling and Blue Ling - Unique Scandinavian Eel-like Fish Lithograph
This stunning 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features three captivating eel-like fish species from Scandinavian waters: the Burbot (Lota lota), the Ling (Molva molva), and the Blue Ling (Molva dypterygia). Illustrated with scientific accuracy and artistic mastery by Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate beautifully captures the sinuous elegance and distinct characteristics of these elongated fish.
At the top of the print, the Burbot (Lota lota) is depicted with its characteristic serpentine body and ornate mottling of dark brown and yellow patterns. The texture of the fish’s smooth, slippery skin is masterfully rendered, capturing its natural sheen and vibrant hues. A distinct chin barbel gives the Burbot an almost catfish-like appearance. Known as the only freshwater member of the cod family, Burbots inhabit cold rivers and lakes throughout Scandinavia. They are particularly valued for their firm, flavorful flesh and are often sought by ice fishermen during winter months.
In the center of the composition lies the Ling (Molva molva), a long and robust fish with a subtly tapering body and prominent lateral line. The brownish-yellow coloration is interspersed with irregular light patches, giving it a marbled appearance. The graceful curvature of the body and the pronounced fins highlight its elongated form. Ling are known for their deep-sea habitats and are prized as a food fish...

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 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. The print, titled La Flèche’s, 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 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. The breed is also an excellent forager, thriving in free range environments, and is capable of producing a good number of large white eggs...
