EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph showcases the exquisite De-Lattres Sabre-wing, a species of hummingbird known for its distinctive curved bill. Created by renowned ornithologist and artist John Gould in the 19th century, this print is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill. The De-Lattres Sabre-wing, scientifically named Campylopterus Delattrei, is depicted here in all its vibrant glory. The intricate patterns on its feathers are brought to life through delicate brushstrokes of watercolor, enhancing the bird's natural beauty. Its long tail feathers gracefully extend beyond the frame, adding an element of elegance and movement to the composition. Gould's illustrations were part of his monumental work "The Birds of Great Britain" which aimed to document every avian species found within the country. This particular piece was printed in London between 1862 and 1873 and remains a treasured part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we can appreciate not only Gould's talent but also his contribution to ornithology. His dedication allowed us to glimpse into the world of these magnificent creatures with unparalleled precision and artistry. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this print serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date; it continues to inspire awe and admiration even centuries after its creation.
