Why chickens, you ask?
The Burpee seed catalog offered poultry equipment and birds!
These engravings were done by Erdmann who seems to be a chicken and duck specialist. They seem a bit "folky", stiff and simplified....but nice!
Thiebault and R.A. Williams did the rest. I haven't turned up any info on them yet.
I often see the "bespoke" engravings with no engraver's signature, but this one has been signed.
