EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 66" of John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds," Vol.1 (1849-61), presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Crimson Topaz, or Topaza pella. The image captures the vibrant beauty of this exquisite hummingbird in flight, its crimson plumage a brilliant contrast against the verdant backdrop of lush, green foliage. The Curved and slender beak of the Crimson Topaz is distinctively long and pointed, perfectly adapted for extracting nectar from the tubular flowers of angiosperms, or flowering plants. The bird's anatomy is masterfully depicted, with delicate feathers and intricately detailed anatomical features. The Crimson Topaz is shown in mid-flight, its wings spread wide in a graceful arc, each feather meticulously rendered in rich, hand-applied colour. The bird's fan-like tail feathers are fully extended, providing balance and stability during flight. The image is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the 19th century, a time when natural history was a burgeoning field of study. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand colouring to bring the image to life are a hallmark of the era. The Crimson Topaz is a hummingbird, belonging to the Apodiformes order and the Trochilidae family. It is a diurnal, or daytime, bird, and is often found in Central and South America. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate and beautiful creatures and their habitats. This lithograph is a window into the natural world of over a century ago, a time when the wonders of the natural world were just beginning to be explored and documented. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
