Hooded Vizor-bearer (Augastes Lumachellus), John Gould Of all the species of Humming-birds hitherto discovered in Brazil, there is perhaps no one more beautiful in form and colour than the bird here represented; neither is there any one among them of which so little is known both respecting its habits and the localities it frequents. 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."
