EDITORS COMMENTS
of John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds," Volume 2 (1849-61), features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Long-tailed Woodnymph, Thalurania watertoni. This exquisite illustration showcases the iridescent beauty of this small, vibrant bird in its natural habitat. The Long-tailed Woodnymph is a captivating creature, with its slender body adorned with shimmering blue and green feathers. Its long, curved bill is perfectly adapted for extracting nectar from the flowers of angiosperms, or flowering plants. The intricate anatomy of this avian marvel is brought to life in this meticulously detailed illustration. The Long-tailed Woodnymph is a member of the Apodiformes order, which includes birds that have the ability to hover in mid-air, such as hummingbirds and swifts. This remarkable ability allows the bird to feed on the nectar of flowers that other birds cannot reach. The illustration depicts the Long-tailed Woodnymph in the daytime, perched on a branch with a vibrant, blue flower in the foreground. The delicate petals of the flower contrast beautifully with the bold, iridescent plumage of the bird. The intricate details of the flower's anatomy are also beautifully rendered, making this a true masterpiece of 19th-century natural history illustration. John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds" was a groundbreaking work that showcased the natural history and beauty of these fascinating birds. This hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and printers of the time, and remains an invaluable resource for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts today.
