EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the radiant beauty of the Magnificent Hummingbird, Eugenes fulgens, also known as the Duke of Rivoli's Hummingbird or Trochilus rivolii. 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 meticulous detail in this illustration captures the iridescent plumage of the hummingbird, with its vibrant green back, emerald-green throat, and brilliant orange-red underparts. The long, curved beak and delicate wings are also expertly rendered, highlighting the hummingbird's unique anatomy that enables it to hover in mid-air while feeding on nectar. The intricate patterns on the bird's feathers are further accentuated by the skillful application of hand-coloring, adding depth and dimension to the engraving. The Magnificent Hummingbird is native to Central America and is known for its striking appearance and agility in flight. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the Naturalist's Library series, providing a window into the natural world of over 150 years ago.
