1864 – Prize Pigeons & Poultry, Bingley Hall, Birmingham

A wonderful full page image from the December 10th, 1864 edition of the “Illustrated London News”, depicting the Prize winning Pigeons, Ducks and Poultry at the Birmingham Show, held at Bingley Hall. Harrison Weir’s knowledge of all the species and their respective breeds is obvious in this rendition. Note that he was also valued as a judge and that for this particular Show, he either judged Poultry and/or Pigeons and/or Cage Birds for 19 consecutive years.

We have provided four details below, one of the full page image and three showing the details of the three types of birds. This image is currently available in A4, A3 and a surprising A2 option, and we are working on making it available eventually, in an A1 poster size option.
