EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases two of the most exotic and beautiful hummingbirds from the far-off lands of the tropical world: the Dot-eared Coquette (Lophornis gouldii) and the Marvelous Spatuletail (Loddigesia mirabilis). Depicted in this stunning image from Mary and Elizabeth Kirby's "Beautiful Birds in Far-Off Lands," published by T. Nelson in London in 1872, these hummingbirds are brought to life through the skilled artistry of an unknown artist and engraver. The Dot-eared Coquette, with its iridescent green and violet plumage, is easily recognizable by the distinctive white spots on its ears, which give it its name. The male boasts a long, curved bill and a forked tail. The female, on the other hand, is less colorful, with a duller green body and a straight, short bill. The Marvelous Spatuletail, with its vibrant colors and unusual tail feathers, is a true wonder of the natural world. The male's tail feathers are elongated and spatula-shaped, creating a fan-like display when it flies. The female, in contrast, has a more conventional tail. Mary and Elizabeth Kirby were two Victorian sisters who dedicated their lives to the study and documentation of natural history. Their books, filled with beautiful illustrations like this one, were instrumental in inspiring a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world in children. This image, in particular, transports us to a time when the exotic and the extraordinary were still waiting to be discovered, and the natural world held endless fascination and mystery.
