EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the vibrant and intricately detailed features of the Green-tailed Jacamar, Galbula galbula, also known as the Long-tailed Green Jacamar or Galbula viridis. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist John Latham, is taken from his comprehensive work, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester in 1822. The Green-tailed Jacamar is a striking bird native to Central and South America. With its elongated, bright green tail feathers, this bird stands out among its forested habitat. The male is characterized by its iridescent green plumage, a large, red, bill, and a distinctive white patch on its forehead. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance, with a brownish-green back and a paler belly. Latham's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this print, which captures the intricate patterns on the Jacamar's feathers, the delicate curves of its beak, and the subtle shading that brings the bird to life. The artist's skillful use of color enhances the natural beauty of the Green-tailed Jacamar, making this print a true masterpiece of ornithological illustration. John Latham was a pioneering figure in the field of ornithology, and his work, "A General History of Birds," remains an important contribution to the scientific record of avian species. This Green-tailed Jacamar print is a testament to Latham's dedication to accurately documenting the natural world and to the enduring beauty of the birds that inhabit it.
