EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Green Violetear Hummingbird, Colibri thalassinus, also known as the Blue-bellied Saw-billed Hummingbird, Trochilus anais. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, Volume 2, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1833. The Green Violetear Hummingbird is a small, iridescent bird native to Central and South America. The male is easily identified by its emerald green back and wings, violet-blue belly, and distinctive, saw-like bill. The female, on the other hand, is less colorful, with a green back and a white belly with brown spots. The Green Violetear Hummingbird is a vital component of its ecosystem, playing a crucial role in pollinating various flowers. They are known to feed on nectar from a wide range of flowers, using their long, curved beaks to reach deep into the blooms. This stunning illustration, produced by the skilled hand of engraver William Lizars, captures the intricate details of the Green Violetear Hummingbird's plumage and anatomy. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art. Sir William Jardine was a Scottish naturalist, explorer, and collector who amassed a vast collection of specimens from around the world. His Naturalist's Library: Ornithology series is considered one of the most comprehensive works on the birds of the world at the time, featuring over 700 plates. This engraving of the Green Violetear Hummingbird is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to scientific accuracy that characterized Jardine's work.
