EDITORS COMMENTS
of John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds," Supplementary volume, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Hylonympha macrocerca, also known as the scissor-tailed hummingbird. This exquisite 19th century artwork, created by the renowned naturalist and artist Richard Bowdler Sharpe, captures the bird in mid-flight, its long, curved bill pointed towards a vibrant, flowering angiosperm. The hummingbird's elongated tail feathers are spread out in a V-shape, creating an elegant contrast against its green body and iridescent wings. The scissor-tailed hummingbird is a native of Central and South America, and is named for its distinctive, forked tail. Hummingbirds are known for their remarkable ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings, which can beat up to 80 times per second. In this image, we see the bird in daytime, flying towards a flower to feed on its nectar. The intricate details of the hummingbird's anatomy, from its delicate wings to its intricately textured feathers, are beautifully rendered in this coloured lithograph. This artwork is a testament to the natural beauty and grace of the hummingbird, and is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology. The image is reminiscent of the work of Elizabeth Gould, who, along with her husband John Gould, produced some of the most detailed and accurate illustrations of birds during the 19th century. This plate was published between 1847 and 1909, making it an important historical record of the natural world. The Hylonympha macrocerca is just one of over 300 species of hummingbirds, all of which play a crucial role in pollinating flowers and contributing to the health and diversity of ecosystems in the Americas. This beautiful and fascinating creature continues to captivate scientists, artists, and nature lovers alike, and remains an enduring symbol of the wonders of the natural world.
