EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Blue-tailed Emerald, Chlorostilbon mellisugus, also known as the Golden-green Hummingbird or Trochilus prasina. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Hummingbirds, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1834. The Blue-tailed Emerald is a small, iridescent hummingbird native to Central and South America. The male is characterized by its brilliant green body, shimmering golden-green throat, and the striking blue tail from which it derives its name. The female, while less colorful, displays a similar body shape and overall green coloration. The intricate detail in this engraving highlights the delicate features of the Blue-tailed Emerald, from its long, curved beak to its slender wings and tail. The artist has skillfully captured the bird's grace and agility, which are essential characteristics of hummingbirds. Hand-coloring was a common technique used during the 19th century to enhance the visual appeal of scientific illustrations. In this case, the addition of color brings the Blue-tailed Emerald to life, making it a true work of art. The high-quality steel engraving process ensures that the details are crisp and clear, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricacies of this remarkable creature. Sir William Jardine was a Scottish surgeon, naturalist, and explorer who amassed a vast collection of natural history specimens during his travels. His Naturalists Library: Ornithology series was one of the most comprehensive works on birds during that time, featuring accurate and beautifully illustrated representations of various species. This Blue-tailed Emerald engraving is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Jardine and the skilled engravers at W.H. Lizars.
