Prize pigeons and poultry at Bingley Hall, Birmingham, 1864. Creator: Harrison Weir
excellence, and with no less than 300 pigeon and 1677 poultry entries...Our pigeon group...begins with Mr. Shaw's German Letz, which won in class 124, for "any new and distinct variety". The Satinettes were second...and the Isabels third. Mr. J. Percivall's Turbits, Mr. T. D. Green's Runts, Mr. J. T. Lawrence's Jacobins (yellow), and Mr. T. D. Shaw's black Trumpeters - a most marvellous pen - form the rest of the group. The ducks we have selected are Mrs. Seamon's superb pen of Aylesburys, weighing 27 lb., and Mr. S. Shaw's Rouens, which weighed 25 lb., and...satisfied to the full the stern poultry laws as to bill and plumage. The cinnamon and buff Cochin-China chickens are the property of Captain Heaton, and won in a good class, as the Captain also did with his older pen. The Creve Coeur chickens belong to Mr. Joseph Harrison, of Blackpool; and, although there were only ten entries in the two classes, this "hobgoblin-looking fowl" - anent which Mrs. Ferguson Blair further adds, in her "Henwife", that it is perfection for the table, and the eggs are very large" - will ere long have raised its split-heart comb on many a British dunghill'.
