Crème d’Argent: a breed shaped by people

The Crème d'Argent Rabbit Federation describes French development, uncertain earliest ancestry, American imports before 1924 and selection toward a more substantial American type. It records exhibition in 1936 and a working standard in 1938. A different passage on the same page gives 1926 for its American appearance, illustrating why early import claims require their original context. The safe account distinguishes early arrival from organized exhibition and recognition. An Americanized type does not mean the French history should disappear; it means that breeding goals continued to develop after the rabbits crossed the Atlantic.
