All the prints are available.

At the 19th Worlds's Poultry Congress in September 1992 held in Amsterdam, a wonderful collection of poultry prints by Van Gink was released in honor of the event. The Van Gink collection spanned his artwork from 1890 to 1968. The artistic precision by which he pinpointed the characteristic features of a strain have never been equaled.

Accompanying each print is a historical brief on that breed. Poultry has been kept by farmers for a long time. The distribution of the poultry strains of Western Europe took place from the East. Long before the present era chickens were well known as domesticated animals in China, India, and East Africa.

In the middle ages the monasteries especially contributed to poultry husbandry. Meanwhile, chickens were kept also for income on farms.

Mr. C.S. Th. van Gink (born in The Netherlands 1890. D1968) started out as a bank employee but soon immersed himself in the world of poultry, being asked in 1912 by early Dutch bantam breeders to draw an ideal image of the breed. He studied poultry science and was a well known fancier and a poultry and pigeon judge. Van Gink went on to be Vice President of the World Poultry Science Association. He wrote several books and was editor and writer for poultry magazines. Over the early 20th century Van Gint continued painting Dutch bantams. It appears that van Gink took some liberties with his representations. Some of the varieties of Dutch Bantams he portrayed, such as the Mille Fleur, were not yet in existence at the time he painted them; it wasn’t until 2001 that that variety was standardised in the Netherlands. His book “C S TH Van Ginks Poultry Paintings 1890 1968, World Poultry Science Association, 1992” includes his beautiful poultry illustrations produced between 1913 and 1967. It was published on the occasion of the 19th World's Poultry Congress September 20-24, 1992 in Amsterdam and includes Dutch & English text. A collection of prints was also released in honour of the event. Accompanying each print is a historical brief on that breed.

Here is the list of the prints available and a few scans. Each is in excellent condition and preserved in a poly sleeve with a poly sleeve. The high gloss prints are 8.5 by 10.5 inches.  Added is a brief historical outline of the breed.
