This striking 19th century chromolithograph showcases a pair of Black Dutch White-Crested chickens, an ornamental breed admired for its elegant black plumage, dramatic white crest, and refined posture.
The print, titled Zwarte Hollandsche Witkuiven, 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 study of poultry breeding, highlighting both practical and decorative breeds that were highly valued in the 19th century.
The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and intricate 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 collectible piece for antique poultry print enthusiasts and historical agricultural collectors.
