Description:

This stunning antique lithograph print from Cassell’s Poultry Book features a prize-winning pair of Silver Pencilled Hamburgs, a striking and historically significant breed of chicken. The cock depicted in this illustration won 1st and Cup at Birmingham in 1871, while the hen secured 1st place at Kendal, making this print a rare representation of champion poultry from the Victorian era.

Created by the esteemed lithographers Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, this beautifully detailed print captures the exquisite feather patterns, bold posture, and elegant form of the Hamburg breed. The print itself measures approximately 17 x 20 cm and has been mounted on black cardboard with a 2cm border, making it an ideal piece for display or framing.

📌 Condition: This is an original 19th-century print, not a reproduction. As it is over a century old, there may be signs of aging, such as minor foxing, light discoloration, or edge wear, all of which add to its authentic vintage charm.

This is a perfect collectible for poultry enthusiasts, vintage print collectors, and lovers of historic agricultural artwork.
