EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of a Red-vented white-tip hummingbird, expertly captured by renowned ornithologist and artist John Gould. The vibrant hues of this tiny avian creature are brought to life through delicate brushstrokes, showcasing its red-tinged feathers and distinctive white-tipped tail. Gould's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print, from the intricate patterns on the bird's plumage to the meticulous rendering of its beak and eyes. The hummingbird appears suspended mid-flight, frozen in time as it hovers near a cluster of blossoms that seem almost ethereal against a soft background. Originally featured in "The Birds of Great Britain" an iconic publication spanning over a decade, this particular illustration was printed between 1862 and 1873. It is one among many plates engraved by H. Richter under Gould's supervision. Now part of the Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation. Its inclusion within Fine Art Finder allows enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also gain insight into the world of ornithology. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this image offers viewers an opportunity to delve into nature's wonders while celebrating Gould's contribution to avian studies. Whether displayed for educational purposes or cherished purely for its visual allure, this hand-coloured lithograph captures the essence and charm of one remarkable species
