Beautiful Wood Star (Calothorax pulcher), John Gould At a first glance this species might be easily mistaken for the bird known to English collectors as the ‘Mexican Star,” and to the French as “Barbe-bleue,”—Calothorax cyanopogon. This illustration has been restored to its original vibrancy by enhancing colors and removing unwanted marks. A monograph of the Trochilidæ, or family of humming-birds was published between 1849 and 1887 by English ornithologist John Gould. This monumental work depicts and describes all the known species of hummingbirds at the time - comprising 418 lithographic plates and information on 537 species."
