EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the Annas Hummingbird, Calypte anna, also known as the Duchess of Rivoli's Hummingbird or Trochilus anna. The image 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 meticulous detail in this print is a testament to the skill of the engraver, William Lizars, who captured the vibrant plumage and delicate features of this hummingbird species. The Annas Hummingbird is native to the western United States and Mexico, and is easily identified by its iridescent green back, rufous underparts, and long, straight, black bill. Males exhibit a distinctive forked tail, while females have a short, rounded tail. Hummingbirds are renowned for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings, which can beat up to 80 times per second. This engraving is a beautiful representation of the Annas Hummingbird in its natural habitat, perched on a branch with its wings slightly spread, displaying the intricate patterns on its feathers. The hand-coloring adds a touch of realism and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any natural history collection.
