Best AYPE Item Ever?

Front cover illustration from Official classifications, rules and regulations of the poultry and pigeon exhibit

I’m not sure how I feel about the actual contents of this volume, but I would love to find out who created the original illustration for its cover.  The same illustration appears on the front cover of a related publication, Official classifications, and lists of exhibitors of the poultry and pigeon exhibit, which may be the more interesting of the two.  So far, the University of Washington holds the only cataloged copies known to avian-kind.
