EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases two exquisite hummingbird species, the Golden-tailed Sapphire (Chrysuronia oenone) and the Red-billed Azurecrown (Amazilia cyanocephala). The image is taken from "Beautiful Birds in Far-Off Lands," a natural history book written by Mary Kirby (1817-1893) and her sister Elizabeth Kirby (1823-1873). Published in London by T. Nelson in 1872, this book was a popular choice for Victorian children, introducing them to the wonders of the exotic and tropical world. The Golden-tailed Sapphire, with its iridescent green and gold plumage, is perched gracefully on a branch, its long, curved bill poised for nectar-feeding. The Red-billed Azurecrown, on the other hand, flaunts vibrant blue feathers adorned with red bills and throats. Both hummingbirds are depicted with remarkable detail, thanks to the advanced chromolithography technique used in the production of this print. Mary and Elizabeth Kirby were passionate about natural history and dedicated their lives to sharing their knowledge with the younger generation. Their books, filled with beautiful illustrations, played a significant role in fostering an appreciation for the natural world and its diverse inhabitants among children. This image of the Golden-tailed Sapphire and Red-billed Azurecrown is a testament to their commitment and the enduring allure of the natural world.
