EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving showcases the adult Black-throated Mango, Anthracothorax nigricollis (also known as Trochilus mango), a stunningly beautiful hummingbird species native to Central and South America. The illustration was created by Jean-Gabriel Pretre and engraved by Coutant for Rene Primevere's "Lessons on the Natural History of the Colibri Genus of Hummingbirds," published in Paris by Arthus Betrand in 1830. The Black-throated Mango is a medium-sized hummingbird, with iridescent green back, wings, and tail, and a black throat and chest. The male has a distinctive white patch on the chest, which is less prominent in females. The bill is long and curved, adapted for extracting nectar from flowers. This engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Black-throated Mango, capturing its intricate plumage and delicate features. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations. The Black-throated Mango is an important pollinator in its native habitats, feeding on nectar from a variety of flowers. It is also known to consume small insects, making it an essential component of the ecosystem. Despite its beauty, this species faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival.
