D is for Dorking Chicken<br />
The Dorking chicken was introduced into Britain by the<br />
Romans in AD 30, making it one <strong>of</strong> the oldest breeds <strong>of</strong> poultry<br />
domesticated for human use. Wilson was an influential <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
architect and artist, best known for his drawings <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
colonial architecture. This work is part <strong>of</strong> the series, Fowls <strong>of</strong><br />
the World, created for the 12 interior pilaster capitals <strong>of</strong> Wilson’s<br />
radical design for the ideal city <strong>of</strong> Kurrajong.
