About the original

John Gould (1804-1881) published A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Hummingbirds between 1849 and 1861: five volumes with 360 hand-coloured lithographs. Most plates show two or three birds among plants, at least one of them in flight to show the colour of its feathers.

Volume 4 of five runs from the Ruby and Topaz to the puff-legs, by way of plovercrests, fairies, violet-ears, the Giant Hummingbird and the Sword-bill, star-frontlets, sun angels, incas and starthroats.
