Thalurania Refulgens by John & Elizabeth Gould | 1946 Vintage Hummingbird Lithograph
Capture the shimmer of nature with Thalurania Refulgens — an authentic vintage lithograph from the celebrated 1946 hummingbird series by John and Elizabeth Gould.
Thalurania refulgens was described by John Gould in 1846. The species’ name ‘refulgens’ literally means ‘shining’ or ‘glittering’ in Latin — a nod to its shimmering green feathers. Commonly known as the Fork-tailed Woodnymph, Thalurania Refulgens is admired for its dazzling emerald plumage and lively iridescence. This beautiful species ranges from Central America to the northern Andes, adding exotic color to any collection of vintage bird art.
This offset lithograph was printed by I.B. Fischer Co. in New York City and pairs perfectly with the other three Gould hummingbirds: Glaucis Fraseri, Hylonempha Macrocerca, Petasophora Iolata. Or collect the complete Gould Hummingbird Lithograph Set at a special price.
