EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving showcases the vibrant plumage and distinctive features of the male Horned Sungem, Heliactin bilophus, also known as the Double-crested Hummingbird, Trochilus cornutus. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Hummingbirds, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1834. The Horned Sungem is a small, iridescent hummingbird native to Central and South America. The male, as depicted in this engraving, is characterized by its long, curved bill, a pair of distinctive horns above its bill, and a brilliant green and black body with a golden throat patch. The female, on the other hand, has a straight, short bill and lacks the horns. The intricate engraving technique used to create this illustration highlights the fine details of the Horned Sungem's plumage, from the shimmering green and black feathers to the delicate, almost transparent wings. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a stunning representation of this species. Sir William Jardine was a Scottish naturalist and explorer who amassed a vast collection of natural history specimens during his travels around the world. His Naturalists Library, which included works on various aspects of natural history, was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the latest scientific discoveries and advancements in natural history illustration. The Hummingbirds volume, featuring this beautiful image of the Horned Sungem, is a testament to the high-quality and accuracy of the illustrations produced during this period of scientific exploration and discovery.
