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...
