EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Salles Hermit (Phaethornis Augusti)", transports us into the enchanting world of ornithology. Created by the talented John Gould in the 19th century, this print is a true testament to his mastery as an artist and naturalist. The Salles Hermit, also known as Phaethornis Augusti, takes center stage in this exquisite artwork. With its vibrant plumage and delicate features, it gracefully hovers amidst a backdrop of lush foliage. Every intricate detail has been meticulously captured by Gould's skilled hand and brought to life through the art of lithography. Originally published in London between 1862 and 1873 as part of Gould's monumental work "The Birds of Great Britain", this print showcases not only his artistic brilliance but also his dedication to documenting avian species with scientific accuracy. Many plates within this collection were engraved by H. Richter, further enhancing their visual appeal. Now preserved within The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, this rare gem offers us a glimpse into the rich history of ornithological exploration. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, we are fortunate to witness the beauty and diversity found within our feathered friends. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine artistry, this remarkable lithograph serves as a timeless reminder of nature's wonders that continue to inspire awe even today.
