EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Broad-tailed Hummingbird, Selasphorus platycercus (previously known as Trochilus tricolor or Ornismya tricolor). The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Hummingbirds, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1833. The Broad-tailed Hummingbird is a small, iridescent bird native to the western United States and Mexico. The male is characterized by its striking tricolored plumage - emerald green back, ruby red throat, and brilliant orange-red underparts. The female, on the other hand, has a duller appearance, with a green back, white underparts, and a forked tail tipped with white. This engraving captures the bird's intricate features, from its long, curved bill to its delicate wings, which are capable of rapid, powerful flapping that allows the hummingbird to hover in mid-air. The artist has expertly rendered the shimmering colors of the bird's feathers, creating an image that is both scientifically accurate and aesthetically pleasing. The Broad-tailed Hummingbird is an important pollinator in its habitat, feeding on nectar from flowers using its long, extendable tongue. This engraving serves not only as a beautiful work of art but also as a testament to the natural history of this fascinating species.
