EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving depicts a juvenile Lucifer sheartail, Calothorax lucifer, also known as the Blue-tailed Hummingbird or the Blue-tailed Sapphire. The engraving is based on an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, created for Rene Primevere's "Lessons Natural History of the Colibri Genus of Hummingbirds," published in Paris by Arthus Betrand in 1830. The Lucifer sheartail is a small, vibrant hummingbird native to South America, specifically found in the Andes Mountains of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. This juvenile bird is shown with its distinctive blue-green back and wings, contrasting with its white underparts and tail. The sheartail refers to the long, pointed tail feathers that this species possesses. The meticulous detail in this engraving highlights the intricate feather patterns and delicate features of the juvenile Lucifer sheartail. The artist has captured the bird's expressive eyes and slightly open beak, suggesting that it may be in the process of feeding or vocalizing. This engraving is a testament to the natural history artistry of the 19th century, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the hummingbird species. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural world as it was observed and documented during this time. The Lucifer sheartail remains an intriguing and captivating subject for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
