Its title promises a survey of fowl from many regions, a scope that sets it apart from simple portraits of a single bird. Pictures of this kind belong to a long tradition of natural history and agricultural illustration, when breeders, farmers and naturalists sorted domestic birds by appearance, origin and purpose. Poultry shows and breed standards grew popular in the 1800s, and printed plates like this one helped readers compare plumage, comb shapes and body types. Look closely at how each bird is posed and labeled, since that layout shows what the makers wanted viewers to notice.
