EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 215: Heliothrix aurita phainolaemus, the Black-eared Fairy (1861), is a stunning hand-coloured lithograph from A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds by John Gould. This exquisite image captures the Black-eared Fairy in mid-flight, its iridescent green and brown feathers a blur as it hovers above a vibrant, flowering angiosperm. The delicate, intricate details of the bird's long, curved bill and distinctive black ear markings are beautifully rendered, adding to the ethereal, otherworldly quality of this avian beauty. The Black-eared Fairy, also known as the Green-tailed Sapphire, is a small, apodiform bird belonging to the family Trochilidae and the order Apodiformes. These birds are characterized by their ability to fly in any direction, including upside down, and are important pollinators for flowering plants in their native habitats. This image, created during the 19th century, showcases the intricate beauty of the natural world and the remarkable skill of the lithographer. The hand-colouring process adds an additional layer of detail and depth, bringing the Black-eared Fairy to life and transporting us to a daytime world filled with the vibrant colours and sounds of the tropics.
