EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two exquisite tropical birds, the Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus) and the Collared Sunbird (Hedydipna collaris). The image is taken from "Beautiful Birds in Far-Off Lands," a natural history book written by Victorian sisters Mary Kirby (1817-1893) and Elizabeth Kirby (1823-1873). Published by T. Nelson in London in 1872, the book was a popular and educational resource for children, showcasing the wonders of the natural world. The Crested Quetzal, a vibrant and elusive bird native to Central America, is depicted in all its resplendent glory. With its iridescent green body, red chest, and long, flowing tail feathers adorned with gold and blue, it is a sight to behold. The quetzal is a symbol of freedom and good fortune in many Central American cultures, and its image has been used in currency and national emblems. The Collared Sunbird, a small and colorful bird native to Africa, is also featured in this print. With its bright orange-red chest and black collar, it is a striking contrast to the greens and blues of the quetzal. Sunbirds are known for their long, curved bills, which they use to extract nectar from flowers. This chromolithograph, created by an unknown artist and engraver, provides a glimpse into the exotic and tropical world of birds that captivated the imaginations of children during the Victorian era. The Kirby sisters' work continues to inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, and this beautiful image is a testament to their enduring legacy.
