EDITORS COMMENTS
Hummingbirds" is a stunning engraving by English natural history illustrator Charles Whymper, created in 1884 and expertly engraved by W. and J. R. Cheshire. This exquisite artwork showcases the vibrant beauty and grace of hummingbirds in their natural habitat. Whymper's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate plumage and delicate wings of the hummingbirds, as well as the lush, textured foliage that surrounds them. Charles Whymper (1843-1941) was a prolific illustrator and author, best known for his work in natural history. He contributed to numerous publications, including "The Ibis," "The Field," and "The Natural History Review." Whymper's illustrations were admired for their accuracy and artistic merit, making him a respected figure in the scientific community. The engraving process used by Whymper and Cheshire involved creating a detailed drawing, which was then transferred to a copper plate. The plate was then etched with acid, creating recessed lines that would hold ink. The plate was then inked and wiped, leaving ink only in the recessed lines. Paper was then pressed onto the plate, transferring the image to the paper. The resulting image was a highly detailed, finely textured print that captured the essence of the subject matter. This particular engraving of hummingbirds is a testament to Whymper and Cheshire's mastery of the engraving process. The hummingbirds are depicted in mid-flight, their iridescent feathers shimmering in the sunlight. The intricate flowers and foliage in the background add depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. Overall, "Hummingbirds" is a beautiful and intricately detailed engraving that showcases the natural beauty and grace of these fascinating creatures. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Charles Whymper and W. and J. R. Cheshire, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
