EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts a male Purple-throated Carib, Eulampis jugularis (formerly known as Trochilus auratus), a stunningly beautiful hummingbird species native to the Caribbean islands and Central America. The engraving is based on an illustration by the renowned French naturalist Jean-Gabriel Pretre, as featured in Rene Primevere's "Lessons on the Natural History of the Colibri Genus of Hummingbirds," published in Paris in 1830 by Arthus Bertrand. The Purple-throated Carib is a small hummingbird, measuring only about 3 inches long with iridescent green and black plumage. However, it is the male's vibrant purple throat that makes this bird a true standout. The male's bill is long, straight, and black, while the female's bill is shorter and curved. This engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Purple-throated Carib's appearance, showcasing its intricate feather patterns and distinctive features. The artist's skillful use of color enhances the bird's iridescent plumage and adds to the overall beauty of the image. The Purple-throated Carib is an important species in the hummingbird family, and this engraving serves as an essential record of its appearance and characteristics. It is a testament to the natural history illustration techniques of the 19th century and the dedication of naturalists like Jean-Gabriel Pretre to documenting the natural world.
