The Leghorn has long been one of the most popular breeds in the world, originating from a region in Northern Italy near the port of its namesake. The birds are small-bodied, active, good foragers and excellent layers of white eggs. The American Poultry Association recognizes many varieties of the Leghorn, including the Single Comb Black Leghorn.
Franklane Lorraine Sewell (1866-1945) gained a national reputation for specializing in paintings and line drawings to document the characteristics of standard poultry breeds. He is referenced in the poem “Blue Ribbon at Amesbury” (1936) by Robert Frost.
The WATT Global Media collection of poultry breed paintings (1926-1950) is the largest single collection of rare poultry breed portraits worldwide. The complete collection is comprised of 57 framed oil paintings of different poultry breeds created by three American artists, A.O. Schilling, L. Stahmer and F.L. Sewell, and was commissioned by J.W. Watt, founder of Watt Publishing Company in the mid-1920s.
NOTE: WATT Global Media seeks to offer the best possible image for the different canvas sizes. However, depending on the size ordered, small variations may occur due to cropping required for size and fit. Please be aware - this may mean some painting elements, including artist signature, may be cropped out of the front image, wrapped to the canvas edges or found on the backside of the frame. Prior to ordering, please check the product thumbnail pictures to view the front images captured for each size offered.
