Légende

Crevecoeur fowls and Japanese bantams from the summer exhibition of poultry, pigeons, and rabbits at the Crystal Palace, 1862. 'The Crevecoeur Fowls are a large variety of fowl, not long introduced into this country: they are excellent for the table as well as for their laying properties. The Japanese bantams were the greatest novelties of the show; they are exceedingly curious, the legs being scarcely an inch in length; the general carriage of the birds is also peculiar; their colour is a light fawn'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
