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...

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.

The print, titled La Flèche’s, originates from Geïllustreerd Hoenderboek, an Illustrated Poultry Book published in 1888 by Elsevier.

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 Elegant Minorca - A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
The Elegant Minorca A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph
This exquisite 19th century chromolithograph showcases a pair of Minorca chickens, a Mediterranean breed known for its striking black plumage, large comb, and excellent egg laying capabilities. The print, titled Minorka’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 a detailed account of poultry breeding and care, reflecting the growing interest in high quality egg producing breeds during the 19th century.
Minorcas, named after the Spanish island of Menorca, are among the most productive of the Mediterranean breeds, known for their ability to lay large white eggs. They were introduced to England in the late 18th century and became highly popular across Europe due to their hardiness and prolific egg production. The breed is characterized by its sleek black feathers, bright red comb and wattles, and distinctive white earlobes, which contrast beautifully against its dark plumage. The Minorca rooster stands tall with an upright posture, while the hen maintains a graceful and refined stance.
This lithograph was created using chromolithography, a 19th century printing process that allowed for vibrant and detailed color reproduction. The illustration is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a well known 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 image. The lustrous sheen of the Minorca’s feathers and the intricate shading on the comb and wattles highlight the meticulous craftsmanship involved in this artistic technique.
Condition Summary
The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and sharp details. Some minor age related toning and slight foxing spots can be seen along the edges, which is common in lithographs of this period. The paper is stable with only minimal signs of wear, making this an excellent collectible piece for antique poultry print...
