Description

Rafael Montes de Oca watched hummingbirds in the field and painted them, and the difference shows: his birds hover, feed and quarrel rather than lying flat as museum skins. This 1875 essay describes the Mexican trochilidae species by species, and its plates — lithographed and coloured by hand — carry the iridescence that is the whole difficulty of the subject, since a hummingbird's colour comes from the structure of the feather and changes with the angle of the light. Reproduced in full colour, from the coloured original. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1875 México edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
