Provenance

Where it came from

The Poultry Manual: A Complete Guide for the Breeder and Exhibitor was written by Thomas William Sturges and published in the early 20th century. During this era, poultry keeping transitioned from a purely utilitarian farm practice to a sophisticated hobby for the burgeoning middle class, fueled by the popularity of competitive livestock showing. Sturges aimed to provide a comprehensive reference for both the amateur backyard keeper and the serious exhibitor, detailing breed standards and best practices.

The design and content of the volume reflect the Victorian and Edwardian obsession with systematic categorization and improvement of domestic animals. Illustrated with detailed plates depicting various breeds, the manual served as a definitive guide for those seeking to refine their flocks for exhibition. It was well-regarded for its technical depth and remains a significant historical text for understanding the early 20th-century poultry fancy movement.
