EDITORS COMMENTS
of John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds," Vol. 2 (1849-61), features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the White-tailed Sabrewing, Campylopterus ensipennis. This exquisite illustration showcases the vibrant beauty of this enchanting hummingbird species, with its iridescent blue-green back and distinctive white tail feathers. The Sabrewing is depicted in the midst of feeding, its long, curved bill delicately inserted into the throat of a flower. The flower, an angiosperm, is rendered in intricate detail, its petals unfurled to reveal its nectar-filled center. The hummingbird's graceful form is in motion, wings spread in flight, capturing the essence of the agile and energetic nature of these remarkable birds. The illustration, produced during the 19th century, showcases the exceptional artistry of the time. The meticulous hand-colouring brings the image to life, adding depth and richness to the already impressive detail of the lithograph. The Aves, specifically the Apodiformes order, to which the Sabrewing belongs, and the Angiospermae, or flowering plants, are both celebrated in this image. The White-tailed Sabrewing is a native of Central and South America, and is known for its distinctive appearance and agile flight. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the intricate relationship between the hummingbird and the flower, and the beauty of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
