John Gould's Magnificent Display of Agyrtria niveipectus, the White-bellied Hummingbird, at the Museum of the Zoological Society of London in 1851 This stunning photographic print captures the awe-inspiring display of the White-bellied Hummingbird, Agyrtria niveipectus, as it was presented at the Museum of the Zoological Society of London during the Victorian era. Curated and preserved by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, John Gould, this exquisite hummingbird was among the many avian treasures showcased in the museum's 24 custom-made cases. John Gould, a leading figure in the scientific community of the 19th century, was renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and dedication to preserving the natural world. His passion for animals, particularly birds, led him to compile an extensive collection of specimens, which were displayed for the public to marvel at their beauty and complexity. The White-bellied Hummingbird, a member of the Trochilidae family and the Apodiformes order, is a captivating example of the sauropsida class, which includes reptiles and birds. With its iridescent blue and green plumage, this tiny bird dazzles the eye with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The hummingbird's delicate wings, capable of rapid and precise movements, are a testament to the marvels of avian flight. This photographic print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and wonder. The intricate details of the White-bellied Hummingbird's plumage and the elegant presentation in the custom-made case serve as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, which continues to inspire and captivate us today.
