EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving depicts two exquisite hummingbird species, the Azure-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia cyanocephala) and the White-eared Hummingbird (Basilinna leucotis). The image is taken from H.G. Adams' seminal work, "Hummingbirds," published in London in 1856. The Azure-crowned Hummingbird, also known as the Blue-crowned Chlorophonia, is a small bird native to Central America. The male is easily identified by its vibrant, electric-blue crown, which contrasts strikingly with its emerald green back and chest. The female, on the other hand, has a duller, olive-green crown and a more subdued appearance overall. The White-eared Hummingbird, also known as the White-eared Sapphire, is a small hummingbird species found in South America. The male is characterized by its iridescent, emerald-green back and chest, and distinctive white ear patches. The female, while less colorful, has a similar body shape and size to the male. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the vibrancy and realism of the image, making it a beautiful and valuable addition to any natural history collection. This historical print provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the diverse and fascinating creatures that inhabit our planet.
