EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the vibrant plumage of the Little Bee-eater, Merops pusillus, also known as the Red-rumped Bee-eater. The intricate details of the bird's feathers are beautifully rendered in this engraving, drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist, John Latham, for his seminal work, "A General History of Birds." The image captures the bird in its natural African habitat, perched on a branch with its distinctive red wings spread out, displaying the contrast between the dark body and the bright red underparts. The Little Bee-eater is a small, slender bird, measuring around 12 cm in length. It is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa, and is a common sight near open country and savanna. These birds are expert flycatchers, and their diet consists mainly of insects, particularly bees and wasps, which they catch in mid-air. The bee-eater's distinctive call is a series of sharp, metallic "bee-bee-bee" sounds, which give them their name. This print is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of John Latham's work. Latham was a pioneering figure in the field of ornithology, and his "General History of Birds" was one of the most comprehensive works of its time, featuring over 2,000 species. The hand-coloring of the prints added an extra dimension to the images, making them even more lifelike and visually stunning. This particular print is a rare and valuable example of the high-quality work produced during the golden age of ornithological illustration.
