The Elegant Silver Penciled Chicken - A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This exquisite 19th century chromolithograph features a pair of Silver Penciled chickens, a breed celebrated for its striking contrast of black and white feather patterns and refined body shape. The print, titled Zilverpellen, 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 detailed insights into poultry breeding, showcasing both practical and ornamental breeds that were highly valued in the 19th century. Silver Penciled chickens were known for their intricate feather markings, particularly in the hens, which displayed an elegant silver and black penciling pattern across their bodies. The roosters, as depicted in this lithograph, feature a bright white body contrasted with a sharp black tail and wings, making them highly distinctive. This breed was admired not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its energetic nature and steady egg laying capabilities. This lithograph was created using chromolithography, a sophisticated 19th century printing process that allowed for vibrantly detailed and richly 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 precision in rendering the feather texture and silver toned contrast in this lithograph highlights the artistry 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...
