EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Green-throated Mango and the Black-breasted Hummingbird: A Vibrant Encounter from the Natural World" This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by William Lizars for Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology: Hummingbirds, published in Edinburgh in 1834, showcases two stunningly beautiful birds: the Green-throated Mango (Anthracothorax viridigula) and the Black-breasted Hummingbird (Trochilus gramineus). The Green-throated Mango, also known as the Green-throated Mountain-gem, is a small, iridescent hummingbird native to the Andes Mountains of South America. The male bird, depicted in the image, boasts a vibrant green throat, a brilliant orange-red belly, and a glossy black back and wings. The female, with a duller green throat and a more subdued coloration, is not shown in this print. The Black-breasted Hummingbird, also known as the Gramineus Hummingbird or the Emerald-bellied Hummingbird, is a medium-sized hummingbird found in the highlands of Central America. The male bird is characterized by its emerald-green back, wings, and tail, a black chest, and a long, straight, and slender bill. The female, with a duller green back and a grayish-brown chest, is not shown in this print. The intricate details of these birds' plumage, captured through the artistry of hand-coloring, highlight their natural beauty and the skill of the engraver. The image also provides a glimpse into the natural history of these birds during the 19th century, when such detailed illustrations were essential for scientific exploration and documentation. This print invites us to appreciate the rich diversity of the natural world and the artistry of the past. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems that sustain these remarkable creatures and the countless others that call our planet home.
