Decorated Wood-star (Calothorax decoratus), John Gould My collection is graced with a very fine example of this bird, but by whom it was collected and whence it came are quite unknown to me. 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."
