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...

Note: Tissot's from 1881 is said to depict his lover, the Irish divorcee Mrs. Kathleen Newton, resting on a lounge chair. Provenance: Private collection, Los Angeles, California Jacques Joseph Tissot (French, 15 October 1836 – 8 August 1902), Anglicized as James Tissot, was a French painter and illustrator. He was a successful painter of Paris society before moving to London in 1871. He became famous as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women shown in various scenes of everyday life. He also painted scenes and characters from the Bible. Jacques Tissot was born in the city of Nantes in France and spent his early childhood there. His father, Marcel Théodore Tissot, was a successful drapery merchant. His mother, Marie Durand, assisted her husband in the family business and designed hats. A devout Catholic, Tissot's mother instilled pious devotion in the future artist from a very young age. Tissot's youth spent in Nantes likely contributed to his frequent depiction of shipping vessels and boats in his later works. The involvement of his parents in the fashion industry is believed to have been an influence on his painting style, as he depicted women's clothing in fine detail. By the time Tissot was 17, he knew he wanted to pursue painting as a career. His father opposed this, preferring his son to follow a business profession, but the young Tissot gained his mother's support for his chosen vocation. Around this time, he began using the given name of James. By 1854 he was commonly known as James Tissot; he may have adopted it because of his increasing interest in everything English. In 1856 or 1857, Tissot travelled to Paris to pursue an education in art. While staying with a friend of his mother, painter Elie Delaunay, Tissot enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to study in the studios of Hippolyte Flandrin and Louis Lamothe. Both were successful Lyonnaise painters who moved to Paris to study under Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Lamothe provided the majority of Tissot's studio education, and the young artist studied on his own by copying works at the Louvre, as did most other artists of the time in their early years. Around this time, Tissot also made the acquaintance of the American James McNeill Whistler, and French painters Edgar Degas (who had also been a student of Lamothe and a friend of Delaunay), and Édouard Manet. In 1859, Tissot exhibited in the Paris Salon for the first time. He showed five paintings of scenes from the Middle Ages, many depicting scenes from Goethe's Faust. These works show the influence in his work of the Belgian painter Henri Leys (Jan August Hendrik Leys), whom Tissot had met in Antwerp earlier that same year. Other influences include the works of the German painters Peter Von Cornelius and Moritz Retzsch. After Tissot had first exhibited at the Salon and before he had been awarded a medal, the French government paid 5,000 francs for his depiction of The Meeting of Faust and Marguerite in 1860, with the painting being exhibited at the Salon the following year, together with a portrait and other paintings. Émile Péreire supplied Tissot's painting Walk in the Snow for the 1862 international exhibition in London; the next year three paintings by Tissot were displayed at the London gallery of Ernest Gambart. In about 1863, Tissot suddenly shifted his focus from the medieval style to the depiction of modern life through portraits. During this period, Tissot gained high critical acclaim, and quickly became a success as an artist. Like contemporaries such as Alfred Stevens and Claude Monet, Tissot also explored Japonisme, including Japanese objects and costumes in his pictures and expressing style influence. Degas painted a portrait of Tissot from these years (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), in which he is sitting below a Japanese screen hanging on the wall. Still on Top, 1873 Tissot fought in the Franco-Prussian War as part of the improvised defense of Paris, joining two companies of the Garde Nationale and later as part of the Paris Commune. His 1870 painting La Partie Carrée (The Foursome) evoked the period of the French revolution. Either because of the radical political associations related to the Paris Commune (which he was believed to have joined mostly to protect his own belongings rather than for shared ideology), or because of better opportunities, he left Paris for London in 1871. During this period, Seymour Haden helped him to learn etching techniques. Having already worked as a caricaturist for Thomas Gibson Bowles, the owner of the magazine Vanity Fair, as well as exhibited at the Royal Academy, Tissot arrived with established social and artistic connections in London. Tissot used...
