Pied Jacobin (Florisuga atra), John Gould The true, if not the restricted, habitat of this species is the eastern portion of Brazil, over which it is distributed from Pernambuco on the north to Rio Janeiro on the south, from which latter locality and Bahia few collections are sent to Europe which do not contain specimens; consequently it is one of the commonest birds in our museums. 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."
