Antique Cinnamon Cochin Hen Print by Harrison Weir – 19th Century Poultry Illustration

Description

Description:
This exquisite vintage print by Harrison Weir showcases the Cinnamon Cochin Hen, a robust and feather-footed breed known for its gentle nature and striking plumage. The Cochin breed, originally from China, became highly popular in Europe and North America during the 19th century due to its impressive size and ornamental beauty.

This print, produced by Leighton Brothers, beautifully captures the soft brown and cinnamon tones of the hen against a serene farmyard setting. Measuring approximately 14.5 x 19 cm and mounted on black cardboard with a 2 cm border, this antique illustration is an excellent example of Victorian-era poultry art. Due to its age, the print may show signs of wear, such as slight discoloration, foxing, or minor edge tears, adding to its historical character.

An ideal collectible for poultry enthusiasts, antique farm print collectors, or those seeking elegant country home decor.
