EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Amethystine Hummingbird" by H.G. Adams, was first published in London in 1856. The intricate detail and vibrant colors showcase two exquisite species of hummingbirds: the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Calothorax lucifer) and the Amethystine Hummingbird (Calliphlox amethystina). The Ruby-throated Hummingbird, with its distinctive red throat and emerald green back, is native to North America. Migrating between North America and Central America, it is the only hummingbird species that regularly breeds in the eastern United States and Canada. The male's brilliant red throat feathers are used to attract females during courtship. The Amethystine Hummingbird, also known as the Amethyst Woodstar, is native to Central and South America. The male boasts an iridescent amethyst-colored throat and a metallic green back. This hummingbird is known for its preference for humid environments and high-altitude habitats. The artistry of this engraving is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of hummingbirds. The intricate details and hand-coloring bring these birds to life, capturing their unique features and vibrant colors. This historical print provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fascination and appreciation for these fascinating creatures that has endured for generations.
