Its current description favors a better-balanced bird with more moderate head features and a fuller front. This context is useful when interpreting a dramatic photograph: an enormous comb is not automatically evidence of superior breeding. The account concerns British development and exhibition interpretation, so it should be labeled accordingly and separated from unmeasured claims about every present Minorca line.
