This hand-coloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Black-breasted Hill Star, a species known for its striking appearance and graceful demeanor. Captured by renowned ornithologist John Gould in the 19th century, this print is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and passion for avian artistry. The Black-breasted Hill Star, scientifically named Oreotrochilus Melanogaster, takes center stage in this illustration from Gould's iconic publication "The Birds of Great Britain". The vibrant colors meticulously applied by hand bring this magnificent bird to life, highlighting its black breast contrasting with its shimmering green plumage. Every feather seems delicately rendered, capturing both the fragility and strength of nature's creations. Gould's dedication to accuracy shines through in every aspect of this piece. From the intricate patterns on the bird's wings to its elegant posture perched upon a branch, each element is expertly crafted with an artist's eye and a scientist's precision. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable resource for ornithologists studying these majestic creatures. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century natural history illustration.
