EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 305 of A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, published in 1861, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Amazilia hummingbird, specifically the subspecies Amazilia amazilia dumerilii. The image captures the bird in mid-flight, its iridescent plumage shimmering in the daylight. The hummingbird's distinctive brown collar and long, slender bill are prominently displayed. As the hummingbird hovers above a vibrant, flowering angiosperm, its long, extendable tongue reaches out to extract nectar from the flower. The intricate anatomy of this avian marvel is on full display, with its wings spread wide and its eyes focused intently on the prize. The hummingbird's ability to fly in any direction, including backwards, is made possible by its unique skeletal structure and powerful muscles. The Amazilia hummingbird is a member of the Apodiformes order and the Angiospermae class, making it an integral part of the daytime ecosystem. Its diet consists primarily of nectar from flowers, making it an essential pollinator for many plant species. The lithograph, produced during the 19th century by the renowned publisher John Gould, showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of the time. The vibrant colours and intricate patterns of both the hummingbird and the flower are brought to life, making this a truly captivating work of natural history.
