EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the White-necked Jacobin hummingbird, Florisuga mellivora (formerly known as Trochilus mellivorus), in all its vibrant glory. The White-necked Jacobin is a small, iridescent hummingbird native to Central and South America. The male, as shown in this image, is characterized by its distinctive white collar and long, curved bill. The female, on the other hand, has a greenish-brown back and a white belly with a thin black line separating the two. This beautiful illustration is from the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, or Natural History Picture Gallery, of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's in Leipzig, Germany. The gallery was renowned for its high-quality natural history prints, produced using the latest lithographic techniques. The intricate details of the White-necked Jacobin's plumage and anatomical features are expertly captured in this lithograph, making it a valuable addition to any natural history collection. The White-necked Jacobin is a vital pollinator in its native habitats, feeding on nectar from flowers using its long, extendable tongue. It is also known to feed on insects, especially spiders, which it catches in mid-air while hovering in the air. The White-necked Jacobin is a popular bird among birdwatchers and naturalists, and its vibrant colors and agile movements make it a delight to observe in the wild. This lithograph not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important record of natural history, providing valuable insights into the appearance and behavior of this fascinating hummingbird species.
