EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 351: Chlorostilbon canivetii, or Canivet's Emerald, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph from "A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Hummingbirds," published in 1861 by John Gould. This exquisite image captures the beauty and grace of this small, emerald-green hummingbird in flight, its delicate wings outstretched and its long, curved bill pointed towards a vibrant, red-and-yellow flower. The Canivet's Emerald is native to Central America and is known for its distinctive brown underparts and iridescent green upperparts. Hummingbirds are part of the Apodiformes order, which includes birds that are adapted for hovering in mid-air by the rapid flapping of their wings, and they are the only group of birds that are able to fly in a backwards motion. This remarkable ability allows them to feed on the nectar of flowers, which they locate by sight and smell. The Canivet's Emerald, like many other hummingbirds, is an important pollinator of angiosperms, or flowering plants, and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. This beautiful lithograph, produced during the 19th century, showcases the intricate details of the Canivet's Emerald's plumage and the delicate petals of the flower it is visiting. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Canivet's Emerald, with its iridescent emerald-green feathers and distinctive brown underparts, is a sight to behold, both in real life and in this stunning, historic print.
