EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 363 of 'A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds' (1861) by John Gould features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Columbian Emerald, Chlorostilbon angustipennis. This beautiful illustration showcases the intricate details of this exquisite hummingbird species, with its iridescent emerald-green plumage and distinctive brown underparts. The bird is depicted in the act of feeding, its long, curved bill delicately inserted into the flower of a gastropod, likely a member of the Archaeogastropoda order. The anatomical precision of the illustration allows for a close examination of the bird's features, including its large, expressive eyes and slender body. The Columbian Emerald is a member of the Apodiformes order, and the Aves class, and is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. The intricate details of this illustration offer a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird, providing a window into the world of hummingbirds and their unique adaptations. With its vibrant colours and intricate details, this lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the 19th century's greatest natural history illustrators.
