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...
