EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Bronzy Inca: A Vibrant Portrayal of Coeligena coeligena from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library" This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Bronzy Inca, Coeligena coeligena, also known as the Purple Hummingbird or Trochilus coeligena. The image is a masterpiece from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, volume 2, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1833. The Bronzy Inca is a stunningly beautiful hummingbird species native to South America. The male bird, as depicted in this illustration, is adorned with iridescent bronze and purple plumage, making it a captivating sight in its natural habitat. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance, with greenish-brown feathers. The intricate details of the Bronzy Inca's features are expertly captured in this handcoloured steel engraving. The artist has meticulously rendered the bird's long, slender beak, vibrant plumage, and delicate wings, creating an image that is both scientifically accurate and aesthetically pleasing. Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the natural world in all its glory. This volume on hummingbirds, in particular, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of these fascinating creatures. The handcoloured steel engraving process used to create this image adds an extra layer of detail and depth, making it a desirable collectible for bird enthusiasts and art lovers alike. Overall, this image of the Bronzy Inca is a stunning example of the high-quality illustrations produced by Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
