EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Thalurania furcata refulgens, commonly known as the fork-tailed woodnymph. Taken from John Gould's renowned publication "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, " this hand-coloured lithograph is a true masterpiece from the 19th century. In this stunning image, we witness the vibrant blue belly and iridescent green feathers that adorn this enchanting bird. With its delicate bill perfectly adapted for feeding on nectar-rich flowers, it gracefully hovers in mid-air while savoring the sweet sustenance provided by an angiosperm flowering plant. The fork-tailed woodnymph's flight is nothing short of mesmerizing; its wings beat rapidly as it effortlessly moves between blossoms. Its breast glistens under the warm sunlight of a beautiful day, accentuating its ethereal presence amidst nature's tapestry. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color bring this avian wonder to life with unparalleled precision. This hand-coloured lithograph captures not only the physical anatomy but also conveys a sense of awe-inspiring elegance that defines these magnificent creatures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when scientific exploration and artistic expression seamlessly intertwined. It serves as a testament to both Gould's expertise as an ornithologist and his talent as an artist. This print by Mary Evans Prints Online offers us
