EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange hummingbirds, each more enchanting than the last. The German School artist skillfully captures the delicate beauty and vibrant colors of these remarkable creatures in intricate detail. Amongst them, we find Delalande's Colibri, adorned with a double crown of gold feathers, exuding an air of regal elegance. The Kragencolibri stands out with its distinctive collar-like plumage, while the Schuppencolibri flaunts iridescent violet hues on its throat. The image also features a mesmerizing Colibri with a six-feathered tail that gracefully fans out behind it. These exquisite birds are surrounded by their fellow avian companions, creating a harmonious display of nature's wonders. Published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's Picture Book for Children between 1790 and 1830, this print offers us a glimpse into the rich biodiversity that fascinated both children and adults alike during that era. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with the natural world and our desire to capture its beauty through art. Now preserved in private hands but made accessible through Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images' collaboration, this engraving allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also marvel at these peculiar hummingbirds who continue to captivate hearts centuries later.
