EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving depicts a juvenile female Allens Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin), a captivating species of hummingbird native to the western United States. The intricate details of the bird's plumage are beautifully rendered, showcasing the delicate iridescence of its feathers and the distinctive markings on its throat and chest. This engraving is based on an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, created for Rene Primevere's "Lessons Natural History of the Colibri Genus of Hummingbirds," published in Paris by Arthus Bertrand in 1830. The meticulous attention to detail in both the original illustration and the subsequent engraving by Coutant serve to highlight the natural beauty and grace of this enchanting bird. The juvenile Allens Hummingbird can be distinguished from the adult female by its lack of a long, white tail tip and its more subdued plumage. This rare and elegant depiction offers a glimpse into the natural history of hummingbirds, providing a window into the natural world and the intricate details of these remarkable creatures.
