EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 285 of A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Violet-crowned Hummingbird, Amazilia violaceps. This exquisite avian specimen is depicted perched gracefully on a cactus, its vibrant violet crown contrasting sharply with its emerald green back and iridescent blue belly. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy are beautifully rendered, from the curved, downward-pointing bill to the delicate, brown feathers on its breast. The Violet-crowned Hummingbird is a native of Central and South America, and is a member of the Trochilidae family, also known as the hummingbirds. This bird is characterized by its agile flight, capable of hovering in mid-air by rapidly flapping its wings 12-80 times per second. The Amazilia genus, to which the Violet-crowned Hummingbird belongs, is part of the larger order of birds known as Apodiformes, which includes flying birds that have no perching feet. The hummingbird is shown feeding on the nectar of a cactus, an important food source for these birds. Cactaceae, or cacti, are a family of angiosperms, or flowering plants, that are adapted to arid environments. The hummingbird's long, curved bill is perfectly suited to extracting nectar from the flowers of these plants. This beautiful lithograph, created in the 19th century by the renowned English publisher John Gould, provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of over 150 years ago. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Violet-crowned Hummingbird to life, offering a captivating reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
