EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts the Fiery-throated Hummingbird (Panterpe insignis), Plate 336 from John Gould's A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, published in 1861. The hummingbird is shown in mid-flight, its vibrant plumage a stunning display of iridescent blues and fiery reds. The bird's distinctive crown and long, curved bill are also clearly visible. The hummingbird is perched on a branch, in the act of feeding on a flower, with its long, slender tongue extended. The flowering plant in the background is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The intricate details of the hummingbird's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this 19th-century illustration. Hummingbirds are part of the Apodiformes order, characterized by their long, thin bills and their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings. The Fiery-throated Hummingbird is native to Central and South America and is known for its striking appearance and agility. This image provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird and the rich biodiversity of the world during the 19th century.
