EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Saw-billed Hermit, Ramphodon naevius, a captivating hummingbird species native to Central and South America. The illustration is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Hummingbirds, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1834. The Saw-billed Hermit derives its name from the distinctive saw-like edge on its upper mandible, which it uses to extract nectar from flowers. The male is adorned with a vibrant, iridescent green back, a white belly, and a striking orange-red throat. The female, on the other hand, sports a duller, olive-green plumage with a white belly and a greyish-brown throat. The intricate details of the Saw-billed Hermit's plumage and anatomical features are masterfully captured in this engraving, which is a testament to the skill and dedication of the illustrator. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the bird to life, allowing us to appreciate its intricacies up close. This illustration is a valuable addition to any natural history collection, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the hummingbird family and the remarkable artistry of the past. The Saw-billed Hermit remains an elusive and fascinating creature, and this engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of its existence and the natural wonders that surround us.
