EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 251: Coeligena torquata torquata, the Collared Inca (1861), from A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds by John Gould. This stunning hand-coloured lithograph showcases the Collared Inca, a vibrant and captivating bird species native to South America. The Collared Inca, also known as Coeligena torquata, is a medium-sized hummingbird with distinctive collars of iridescent green feathers adorning its neck. The image captures the bird in mid-flight, its wings spread wide in a graceful display of avian agility. The Collared Inca's long, slender bill is curved and pointed, perfectly adapted for extracting nectar from the flowers of angiosperms. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy are beautifully rendered, from its delicate feathers to its intricately patterned breast. The Collared Inca is often found near flowering plants, where it feeds on their nectar during the daytime hours. In this image, the bird is shown hovering above a bell-shaped flower, its long, fan-like tail feathers spread out behind it. The Collared Inca is a member of the Apodiformes order and the Angiospermae class, making it part of the larger group of birds that includes swifts and hummingbirds, as well as flowering plants. The lithograph is a testament to the exquisite artistry and scientific precision of the 19th century, providing a detailed and accurate record of this remarkable bird species. The rich colors and intricate details bring the Collared Inca to life, offering a glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago.
