Beautifully finely engraved and old hand coloured steel engraving by the eminent Edinburgh engraver WH Lizars (1788-1859) for Jardine's Naturalist's Library series Humming-Birds, published in London circa 1845. Drawing on the expertise of leading naturalists in each field, Jardine employed William Home Lizars to engrave over 1,200 different species of animals, fish, birds and insects. They are considered to be the finest miniature nature portraits ever produced. Beautifully coloured, each is notable for its plain engraved background. Sir William Jardine (1800-1874) was a naturalist particularly interested in ornithology - and also in Lizars' sister Jane Home Lizars, whom he married.
Beautiful small bird portrait by WH Lizars, in good condition apart from faint flaws in the paper.
