EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Great fork-tailed hummingbird (Hylonymphia Macrocerca). Created by renowned ornithologist and artist John Gould, this print is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and passion for capturing the essence of these remarkable creatures. The vibrant hues of the bird's plumage come alive against a backdrop of delicate foliage, transporting us into its natural habitat. Every feather seems to shimmer with iridescent brilliance, reflecting light in an enchanting dance. The elongated forked tail adds an element of grace and elegance, further enhancing its allure. Gould's expertise in depicting birds is evident in every stroke of his brush. His ability to capture not only their physical characteristics but also their spirit and energy is truly remarkable. This particular species, native to Great Britain, holds a special place within our avian kingdom. Printed as part of "The Birds of Great Britain" this illustration serves as both a scientific record and a work of art. It invites us to marvel at nature's wonders while reminding us that we share this world with extraordinary beings like the Great fork-tailed hummingbird. As we gaze upon this hand-coloured lithograph from 1862-73, we are reminded that even centuries later, it continues to inspire awe and admiration for these magnificent creatures that grace our skies.
