Chicago Bird & Cage Co. Illustrated Catalogue (Retro Peacock Edition)

This high-quality edition is an unabridged replication of the original catalogue produced circa 1930, using a rare original source copy. Each page has been expertly processed and every tiny stroke of the many etchings included in this volume has been detailed and reproduced digitally. This book offers fascinating glimpse of the many birds and other exotic fancy which were available as pets to all who could afford them. Offerings from Chicago Bird and Cage Co. were highlighted by their signature lines of parrots, including the specially bred Mexican "Parrot With The Human Voice" and "Pirate Red Head Parrot," both guaranteed to learn to talk. Beyond these, the company offered a wide selection of locally-sourced and imported bird cages and supplies, as well as a menagerie of other exotic creatures available for order, including Brazilian Cardinals, and even Marmozette Monkeys ("The smallest monkey in existence") Recreated using technology far superior to any available in the 1930s, this catalogue is printed and optimized for maximal quality and longevity in a format that captures the appearance of the original catalogue when first printed. Whether you are a pet-lover, a collector of ephemera, a historian, or an afficionado of vintage literature, this book will be an excellent addition to your collection and enable you to experience and relive what were once bygone memories of the past.
