Blue-headed Sapphire (Eucephala Grayi), John Gould This fine bird was first described by MM. DeLattre and Bourcier in the “Revue Zoologique” for 1846; the specific name of Grayi being assigned to it in honour of J. E. Gray, Esq., of the British Museum, a gentleman so well known for his high scientific attainments. 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."
