EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print depicts the Chlorostilbon aureoventris, also known as the glittering-bellied emerald hummingbird, which was collected by the renowned naturalists Sir Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander during Captain James Cook's first voyage of exploration in November 1768. The expedition, which took place aboard the HMS Endeavour, marked a significant milestone in the history of discovery and exploration, as Cook and his team charted new territories and collected a vast array of specimens from various parts of the world, including this beautiful avian species. The Chlorostilbon aureoventris, belonging to the Apodiformes order and the family Trochilidae, is native to South America. This small, vibrant hummingbird is characterized by its iridescent green plumage and the distinctive golden-yellow belly, giving it its common name. The print, which is annotated with the species name Chlorostilbon lucidus, also features other intriguing specimens, including a gastropod and an aspidobranch mollusk. This exquisite print, which dates back to the period between 1733 and 1782, is a testament to the groundbreaking work of Cook, Banks, and Solander during their expedition. The intricate details and lifelike representation of the Chlorostilbon aureoventris and the other specimens showcase the exceptional skill and artistry of the printmaker. The print is an essential addition to any collection of historical natural history, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the past and the pioneering spirit of exploration and discovery.
