Otero Brilliant (Heliodoxa Otero), John Gould How manifestly is the law of representation exhibited in certain species of Humming-Birds inhabiting similar latitudes north and south of the equator! 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."
