EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases two stunning hummingbird species, the Tufted-necked Hummingbird (Trochilus ornatus) and Delaland's Hummingbird (Stephanoxis lalandi). The image is taken from H.G. Adams' seminal work, "Hummingbirds," published in London in 1856. The Tufted-necked Hummingbird, also known as the Sapphire-throated Hummingbird, is native to Central America and northern South America. The male is easily identified by its iridescent blue-green back, emerald-green wings, and the distinctive tufts of feathers on its neck. The female, on the other hand, has a duller green back and a white belly with a greenish tinge. Delaland's Hummingbird, also known as the White-necked Jacobin, is native to the Caribbean and Central America. The male is characterized by its brilliant red throat, green back, and white neck. The female is less colorful, with a dull green back, white belly, and a grayish-brown neck. The intricate details of these birds are beautifully captured in this engraving, which was a popular method of reproducing images during the 19th century. The use of hand-coloring added an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the print, making it a coveted addition to any natural history collection. This historical image not only showcases the beauty of these hummingbird species but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history of the 19th century. The Tufted-necked Hummingbird and Delaland's Hummingbird continue to captivate ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike, making this print a valuable and fascinating piece of history.
