EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases two stunning hummingbird species, the Double-crested Hummingbird (Trochilus cornutus) and the Green Violet-ear (Colibri thalassinus). The image is taken from H.G. Adams' seminal work, "Humming-birds," published in London in 1856. The Double-crested Hummingbird, also known as the Eastern or Eastern Anna's Hummingbird, is a common sight in North America. Males are characterized by their distinctive double crest feathers on their heads, which are used for courtship displays. They are also easily identified by their bright, iridescent green backs and forked tails. The Green Violet-ear, on the other hand, is native to Central America and Mexico. Males have a striking green head and ear coverts, which are accentuated by black and white stripes. Their bodies are a deep, glossy green, and they have long, curved bills. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving are a testament to the skill of the engraver and the advanced techniques of the time. The use of hand-coloring added an additional layer of artistry, bringing the hummingbirds to life in a way that was not possible with black and white illustrations. This historical image offers a glimpse into the natural world of over 160 years ago, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the hummingbird species. The Double-crested Hummingbird and the Green Violet-ear continue to captivate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike, and remain symbols of the wonder and mystery of the natural world.
