This vintage ornithological plate features four hummingbird species rendered in precise watercolor detail: Petasophora thalassina (top), Circe latirostris (left), Selasphorus rufus with its distinctive rufous crown (right), and Dolattia clementiae (bottom). Each bird is depicted in dynamic posture-hovering, perched, or in flight-to highlight key morphological traits like iridescent plumage, bill shape, and tail structure. The hand-labeled taxonomy reflects historical classification practices used in early avian field guides.
