EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 82" of John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds," Vol. 2 (1849-61), features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Purple-throated Carib, Eulampis jugularis. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this bird in its natural habitat. The Purple-throated Carib, a vibrant and beautiful creature, is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its iridescent purple throat feathers contrasting vividly against its green back and chestnut-brown belly. The bird's long, slender beak is curved and pointed, perfectly adapted for extracting nectar from the delicate flowers of angiosperms. Surrounding the bird, a variety of blue and colourful flowers bloom, creating a breathtaking scene of nature in full bloom. The fan-like shape of the flowers, typical of angiosperms, adds to the overall beauty and harmony of the illustration. The anatomy of the Purple-throated Carib is beautifully rendered in this hand-coloured lithograph. Its breast is visible, revealing the fine, intricate patterns of its feathers. The bird's wings are spread slightly, revealing the delicate quills and the delicate veins that run through them. This illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the 19th century naturalist illustrators. The attention to detail and the vibrant colours bring the Purple-throated Carib and its surroundings to life, transporting us to a daytime world of hummingbirds and flowering plants. The Purple-throated Carib, a member of the Aves class and the Apodiformes order, is a fascinating creature that continues to captivate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this beautiful bird and the importance of documenting the natural world in intricate detail.
