About the Family of Hummingbirds<\/span><\/h2>\n

Considered John Gould\u2019s masterpiece in both breadth and beauty,<\/span> Monograph of the Trochilidae or Family of Humming Birds<\/span><\/a> (1849 -1861) comprises 418 plates. Depicted and lithographed on stone by artists John Gould, Henry Constantine Richter and William Matthew Hart, each plate exquisitely portrays these delicate, evocatively colored birds with the flowers indigenous to their native habitat. Strong botanical elements add a dimension not found in other bird folios while the use of gold leaf, transparent oil colors, watercolors, lacquers, and gum arabic are combined to capture the iridescent, jewel-like quality of birds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oppenheimer Editions publication of Family of Hummingbirds makes John Gould\u2019s 19th-century masterpiece available as fine art prints in a limited edition of 200. The breadth and beauty of this monograph on the family Trochilidae are captured as modern facsimile prints. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
