EDITORS COMMENTS
of John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trochilidae or Family of Hummingbirds, Vol.1" (1849-1861) features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Ramphodon naevius, also known as the saw-billed hermit. This exquisite illustration, created by both John and Elizabeth Gould, showcases the intricate details of this unique bird species. The Ramphodon naevius is depicted with its distinctive curved, saw-like bill, which is used for extracting nectar from flowers. Its brow-like markings above the eye add an intriguing touch to its appearance. The bird is perched on a branch, its long, slender body adorned with iridescent feathers that shimmer in various shades of green and blue. In the background, a vibrant array of angiosperms, or flowering plants, can be seen. The hummingbird is surrounded by a variety of flowers, each one providing a source of nectar for the bird. The illustration highlights the important relationship between these two groups of organisms – the hummingbirds, belonging to the order Apodiformes, and the angiosperms, belonging to the class Angiospermae. The anatomy of the Ramphodon naevius is beautifully rendered in this illustration. The fine details of its feathers, the delicate structure of its beak, and the intricacies of its eye are all captured with remarkable precision. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century natural history illustration. This plate not only showcases the natural beauty of the Ramphodon naevius but also serves as a testament to the extraordinary talent of the Goulds in documenting the natural world. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accuracy make this illustration a valuable resource for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts alike.
