EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases two captivating species of the hummingbird family: the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird (Amazilia tzacatl) and the Tufted Coquette (Lophornis ornatus), also known as the Black-eared Fairy (Heliothryx auritus). The image is taken from the "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris between 1834 and 1839. The illustration was originally created by Adolph Fries, and the engraving was executed by du Casse. The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, with its vibrant, iridescent plumage and distinctive rufous tail, is depicted perched gracefully on a branch. This hummingbird is native to Central America and is known for its agility and nectar-feeding habits. The Tufted Coquette, or Black-eared Fairy, is depicted in the foreground, showcasing its striking black ear tufts and long, curved bill. This hummingbird is native to South America and is known for its elusive behavior and preference for forested habitats. The intricate details of the engraving bring these small, beautiful creatures to life, capturing their essence and showcasing their unique features. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art that transports us to the lush, exotic habitats of these fascinating birds.
