Hylonympha Macrocerca by John & Elizabeth Gould | 1946 Vintage Hummingbird Lithographt

Celebrate rare tropical elegance with Hylonympha Macrocerca — a genuine vintage hummingbird lithograph from the renowned 1946 series by John and Elizabeth Gould.

Commonly called the Venezuelan Sylph, Hylonympha Macrocerca is prized for its brilliant emerald plumage and exceptionally long tail feathers. Native to the cloud forests of Venezuela, this elusive species is beautifully captured by the Goulds’ meticulous artistry and scientific precision.

More information

Just like the majority of our inventory at Pink Flamingos, this listing is vintage and has never been displayed or used. It's from limited, unopened stock sourced directly from the original manufacturer or distributer. As a result, its colors are more vibrant than those typically found in similarly aged prints, leading us to classify it as "new." Curious about new vintage? Read all about it in my blog: https://www.pinkflamingos.shop/blogs/news/vintage-vs-new-vintage-whats-the-difference

Please note that this listing is for an unframed authentic, genuine old print published in the early-to-mid 20th century using quality paper and inks. It reflects the colors and styles popular in decorative accessories of that era. The patina resulting from any minor discoloration or fading is indicative of its age and contributes to its uniqueness. In order to ensure your purchase lasts a lifetime, please follow this link for care tips.
