EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Pale-tailed Barbthroat (Threnetes leucurus), a hummingbird species native to Central and South America. The intricate detail in this image, created by Coutant after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre for Rene Primevere's "Lessons Natural History of the Colibri Genus of Hummingbirds," published in Paris in 1830, highlights the vibrant plumage and distinctive features of this enchanting bird. The Pale-tailed Barbthroat is a small hummingbird, measuring only about 3 inches in length. The male is adorned with a brilliant green back, a metallic blue-green belly, and a striking orange-red undertail. The female, on the other hand, has a duller appearance with a greenish-brown back and a white belly. Both sexes have long, curved bills and iridescent feathers that shimmer in the sunlight. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to natural history during the 19th century. The intricate details, from the delicate quills of the wings to the intricate patterns on the feathers, are a reflection of the artists' skill and the importance placed on documenting the natural world during this time. The Pale-tailed Barbthroat, with its striking appearance and graceful movements, continues to captivate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike, making this image a timeless treasure in the study of hummingbirds and the natural world.
