EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Phaetornis pygmaeus and Patagona gigas," showcases two of the most intriguing and size-contrasting species in the hummingbird family: the Pigmy Hermit (Phaetornis pygmaeus) and the Gigantic Hummingbird (Patagona gigas). Dating back to 1856, this exquisite print was created by H.G. Adams as part of his comprehensive work, "Hummingbirds." The Pigmy Hermit, a diminutive bird native to South America, is depicted perched on a branch with its distinctive long, curved beak and iridescent plumage. Contrastingly, the Gigantic Hummingbird, native to Patagonia, is shown in flight, revealing its impressive size and vibrant colors. The engraving's meticulous detail and use of hand-coloring bring these birds to life, providing a glimpse into the natural history of these remarkable creatures. The Pigmy Hermit, also known as the Scissor-tailed Hermit, is the smallest hummingbird species, measuring only 2.8 inches (7 cm) in length. In contrast, the Gigantic Hummingbird, also known as the Patagonian Hummingbird, is the largest hummingbird species, with a length of up to 8.7 inches (22 cm) and a wingspan of up to 11 inches (28 cm). This historical print not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of hummingbirds but also showcases the skill and artistry of H.G. Adams and the techniques of steel engraving and hand-coloring during the mid-19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the natural world of the past.
