Canivet’s Emerald (Chlorostilbon Caniveti), John Gould In no instance does false information as to locality more frequently occur than among the members of the great group of Humming-Birds, and thus the Chlorostilbon Caniveti, the bird here represented, has been described as an inhabitant of a country in which it has never existed. 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."
