This special re-print edition of William Entwisle's book "Bantams" is a complete guide to Bantam chicken breeds. Written in 1895, during the 19th century, Mr. Entwisle was considered "the leading Bantam breeder in the world" and was responsible for the creation of several Bantam varieties that are still enjoyed by breeders and other Bantam enthusiasts to this day. Included in the text are discussions on Game Bantams, Malay and Aseel Bantams, Cochins, Brahmas, Sultans, Burmese and Silky Bantams, Sebright Bantams, Rosecomb Bantams, Scotch Greys, Nankins, Japanese Bantams, Frizzles, Polish Bantams, Minorcas, Leghorns, Hamburgs and other Bantams. Also included are details on breeding, rearing and exhibiting Bantams, making this one of the best historic texts on Bantams ever written. Lavishly illustrated with historic drawings by the famous artist, judge and writer, J.W. Ludlow. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
