EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Empress Humming-bird (Eugenia Imperatrix)" is a stunning example of the exquisite artwork found in John Gould's renowned book, The Birds of Great Britain. Created by Gould himself and printed in London between 1862 and 1873, this print showcases his exceptional talent as an ornithological artist. The Empress Humming-bird depicted here is a true marvel of nature. Its vibrant plumage shimmers with an array of iridescent colors, capturing the eye and imagination of any observer. With delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, Gould masterfully brings this tiny creature to life on paper. Displayed against a simple background that allows its beauty to take center stage, the Empress Humming-bird appears almost ethereal in its elegance. Every feather seems to be meticulously placed, creating a sense of movement frozen in time. This particular print is part of the Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House—a testament to its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a reminder not only of Gould's immense contribution to ornithology but also as an invitation for us all to appreciate the wonders found within our natural world. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this hand-coloured lithograph offers us a glimpse into both the past and present fascination with birds—an enduring subject matter that continues to captivate artists and enthusiasts alike.
