EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, Drawing 58 (Ewan 20), showcases the exquisite detail of Archilochus colubris, the ruby-throated hummingbird, as rendered by the skilled hand of naturalist and explorer William Bartram in the late 18th century. The ruby-throated hummingbird is a migratory bird belonging to the Apodiformes order and the Trochilidae family, known for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12-80 times per second. Bartram's meticulous drawing highlights the bird's vibrant plumage, with its iridescent ruby-red throat contrasting against the emerald green of its back and wings. The intricate anatomy of the bird is also beautifully depicted, including its long, curved bill, which is adapted for extracting nectar from flowers, and its tiny, clawed feet, which enable it to perch securely on thin branches. The background of the print features a variety of botanical specimens, including common flax (Linum usitatissimum), a member of the Linaceae family, and coquina (Arthrocnemum sp.), a type of salt-tolerant plant commonly found in coastal areas. These plants were likely drawn from life during Bartram's extensive travels through the American Southeast and Caribbean. Bartram's botanical and zoological drawings, created between 1756 and 1788, are a testament to his keen observation skills and his dedication to documenting the natural world. This particular drawing of the ruby-throated hummingbird is a stunning example of his artistic and scientific prowess, and remains an invaluable resource for ornithologists and natural historians today.
